Thisted form and stats

Thisted's struggle is real here at Sparekassen Thy Arena with only 14 points collected from 15 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-2-9. Thisted has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Thomsen and the players.

Thisted lost their last game at Fredericia after a 1-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Silkeborg.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Thisted have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Thisted are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 18 goals in 15 matches. Thisted have conceded 30 goals in these home games, a significant number.
