Vejle form and stats

Vejle's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Vejle, who have the most clean sheets (13) in First Division, collect 26 points from their 12 away matches in the First Division. 7 victories and 5 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the SønderjyskE game have they lost an away game, meaning Vejle has taken points from twelve away matches in a row.

Vejle are travelling after their nice 5-3 home win in the First Division against Hvidovre (placed 10th). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Kolding IF.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Hvidovre was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Fredericia in just three days.

Vejle are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 12 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Vejle as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Vejle - Næstved 1-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - two - seven (Næstved wins - draws - Vejle wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
