Superliga: What this game might miss in style it should make up for in effort and attitude. Bring on OB - AGF!

Insights:
  • OB have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • AGF have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Superliga

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

OB form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, OB have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games.

OB are returning here after visiting Nordsjælland (after extra-time) in a Landspokal Cup game and winning with a 4-1 scoreline. E. Sabbi, M. Lieder (2) and A. Þrándarson scored the goal(s).

A 1-1 draw away in the Superliga before that, with Silkeborg the opponent.

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 six games. OB has won two of these, drawn one and lost three.

OB can score goals in their home matches. After 6 league matches they have found the net 12 times. OB's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

AGF form and stats

There's been little loot from AGF's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Superliga. AGF only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. AGF has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The manager D. Nielsen was unhappy after their last game, a Landspokal Cup match played at their home ground Ceres Park. AGF suffered a 0-2 loss to SønderjyskE (after extra-time) (placed 11th).

Prior to that match, the AGF manager D. Nielsen faced defeat when travelling to Randers and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by AGF in our archives, and the results are: four wins for AGF, two draws and three defeats.

Goals are few and far between in AGF's away league games. Only 2 goals from 6 travels. AGF struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 9 goals conceded from these games.
