Football insights: OB vs AaB - predictions and stats

AaB could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superliga game only four sleeps ago.

OB form and stats

3 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what OB have to build on here at Nature Energy Park in the Superliga. When OB hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Horsens, Lyngby and OB), they have won 2 of 2 matches! OB have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

OB are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-7 away versus København. OB were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Bernat had a busy but productive day in the København match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Tverskov was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.41 (out of ten) in that game. Tverskov hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 36 successful passes (of 44 total).

This is expected to be a close game, with OB perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with OB as a small favourite), we find 10 games. OB has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

The OB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. OB have conceded 15 from these games.

AaB form and stats

AaB have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 2-1-7 (10 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Hamrén, the AaB manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

AaB have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 286 minutes ago. Fossum was the goal scorer.

AaB's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Midtjylland that finished 0-0. AaB were so close to winning the game against Midtjylland, hitting the post three times. Midfielder Sousa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.32. Sousa hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 33 successful passes (of 41 total).

Before that, the victory at home against Viborg in the Landspokal Cup (2-0). 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 10 relevant matches. Results were 3 AaB wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

In the opposite end, AaB have conceded 18 goals in their away games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
