OB look to Nature Energy Park supporters for inspiration before Viborg match

It's no vacation for neither OB nor Viborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

OB drew their last game, 1-1 away at Nordsjælland. Jebali was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Nordsjælland after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Tverskov was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.5 out of 10. The defender Tverskov hit one key pass and won 7 of 8 duels.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for OB as they have a new game in only three days, a Superliga match thankfully also at home. SønderjyskE are visiting.
