Vejle form and stats

4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for Vejle, who have the most conceded goals (48) in Superliga, so far this season.

Vejle shared the glory with Viborg in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Opoku was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.43 out of 10. The defender Opoku served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 7 duels.

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 Vejle have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost one.

The manager Prelec will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nordsjælland in only three days.

Vejle are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Vejle defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

AGF form and stats

AGF have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 2-4-5 (11 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for AGF, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The SønderjyskE game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

AGF played 1-1 against SønderjyskE in their previous match. Tingager, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.43. Tingager scored one goal and won 7 of 13 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against OB wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

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

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the AGF manager Nielsen as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Viborg.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting AGF as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by AGF in these games.

Head 2 Head

The newest past scoreline featuring both these squads is the AGF - Vejle 0-0 played earlier this season. Statistics for the prior ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: one win for Vejle, five draws and four wins for AGF. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
