Hobro form and stats

The story so far in the First Division for Hobro at their home stadium (DS Arena) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. Two home wins in a row for Hobro bring valid hopes of a third.

The Hobro manager Thomsen and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Esbjerg. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Esbjerg as Pedersen's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.

1-1 away at Fremad Amager before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hobro perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hobro as a small favourite), we find ten games. Hobro has won one of these, drawn seven and lost two.

Hobro have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at DS Arena with 17 goals in 11 league matches. Hobro have conceded 21 from these games.
