With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Skive fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Næstved.

Skive form and stats

Skive have played 13 First Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Mogensen was the last player to find the net.

Skive's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Viborg (placed 2nd). Preceding that game was the away draw at Fremad Amager that finished 0-0.

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

There will be little rest for Skive after this match as they are travelling to Kolding IF for a First Division game in only three days.

Skive are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Skive defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Næstved form and stats

There's been little loot from Næstved's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 13 away games in the First Division. Næstved only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Næstved have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Nykøbing game.

Næstved played 1-1 against Vejle in their previous match. Prior to that match, the Næstved manager M. Dentz faced defeat when travelling to Nykøbing and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Næstved in our archives, and the results are: one win for Næstved, one draw and seven defeats.

A new game in only three days for Næstved, the First Division home match versus Viborg. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Næstved have conceded 23 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
