- Vejle have the fewest scored goals in the first half (11) in Superliga

AaB form and stats
4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for AaB so far this season.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for AaB, who played 1-1 against Horsens. That match was also played at this venue (Aalborg Portland Park). Defender Kristoffer Pallesen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.15/10. Pallesen won 3 of 4 duels. A painful moment in the game against Horsens was the missed penalty kick from Tim Prica in the 87th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at OB.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 AaB have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn one and lost four.
AaB has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. AaB have conceded 15 in these home matches.
