AGF form and stats

Three Superliga home games done for AGF, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for AGF with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Nordsjælland game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

AGF faced defeat in their previous match, away at Viborg (0-2). Midfield player Nicolai Poulsen got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Poulsen hit three key passes.

Ahead of that match, AGF lost 1-3 at home to København.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how AGF have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost two.

AGF has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for AGF with 6 goals conceded in these matches.

OB form and stats

OB are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Superliga, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

OB delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Brøndby (placed 9th) in their previous match; a Superliga game. Midfielder Emmanuel Sabbi was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.22. Sabbi scored one goal, hit the woodwork two (!) times, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 5 of 10 times and had 19 successful passes (of 21 total). OB's last match (vs Brøndby) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 84th minute equalizer by Mart Lieder. As mentioned above, OB drew the match against Brøndby. Manager A. Alm brought on Mart Lieder to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Silkeborg.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with OB playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three OB wins, four draws and four defeats.

OB have another match away in just three sleeps, a Landspokal Cup game vs Roskilde. A strenuous fixture list for the visiting team!

OB have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. OB have conceded 5 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings with these crews: AGF won six, OB triumphed in two and we saw two draws. seven games with more than 2,5 goals, three matches with less than 2,5 goals.
