Hobro form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their First Division travels is 0 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. One point away has become something of a habit for Hobro who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Hobro are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Hvidovre (placed 4th). The draw against Hvidovre came from a losing position. The Hobro manager M. Thomsen brought on K. Høgh as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A 1-2 loss hosting Nykøbing before that.

We have checked recent matches where Hobro have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, two draws and five defeats.

Hobro have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Hobro's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Esbjerg four wins, three draws and Hobro three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
