OB form and stats

5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for OB so far this season. OB has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Michelsen and the players.

In their previous game, the manager J. Michelsen led his OB to a defeat in the Superliga match away at Horsens. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Nature Energy Park. Preceding that match was a defeat to Midtjylland (1-2).

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 OB have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 0 Lost 3.

OB have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Nature Energy Park with 17 goals in 9 league matches. OB have conceded 10 in these home matches.

AaB form and stats

3-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AaB in their Superliga matches away.

AaB delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Hobro (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Superliga game. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at HB Køge.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with AaB playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 3 AaB wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

After this away game AaB return home for a Superliga game against Nordsjælland. That game is only four sleeps after this.
