Loyal fans at Nature Energy Park haven’t watched many victories this season, with OB languishing in the 9th position. The opposing Silkeborg will try to defend their higher league place in this game.

Insights:
  • OB have the most conceded goals (38) in Superliga
  • Silkeborg have the most matches over the total-line (15) in Superliga

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Silkeborg have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-9-13 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

OB form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, OB, who have the most conceded goals (38) in Superliga, have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.

Happy days for OB in their previous game, a fixture away at AaB that ended with a 3-2 victory. The victory against AaB came after Kadrii's winning goal. The OB manager Alm was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 71st minute. Frøkjær-Jensen (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.33/10. Frøkjær-Jensen scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 25 successful passes (of 31 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Midtjylland that was lost 1-3.

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 11 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 4.

OB are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, OB have conceded 16 goals.
