The visiting Frem side should be favourites in this visit to Holstebro, as the away team holds a 20 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Holstebro have the fewest scored goals (12) in 2. Division Group 1
  • Frem have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Holstebro have less rest than Frem in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a 2. Division Group 1 game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Thisted, so at least Holstebro are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Holstebro form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 2. Division Group 1 this season. Holstebro, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in 2. Division Group 1, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Holstebro Idrætspark. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Holstebro, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Holstebro shared the glory with Thisted in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Brabrand.

Holstebro has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Holstebro defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Frem form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Frem playing as the away team in the 2. Division Group 1 this season.

Frem might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Dalum proved too strong as Frem slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kæmpernes Arena. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Jammerbugt wasn't a success with a 2-5 loss.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Frem are regular goalscorers on their travels. Frem's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Frem - Holstebro 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
