Vejle form and stats
Vejle's struggle is real here at Vejle Stadion with only 8 points collected from 8 Superliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Vejle after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Vejle are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Randers. Sten Grytebust had a busy but productive day in the Randers match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Tobias Mølgaard was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.33 (out of ten) in that game. Mølgaard hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Before that, Vejle had a home game versus SønderjyskE which ended with a victory 3-1.The Vejle fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Vejle defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

A loss against Brøndby was the result prior to that, in a Superliga home game.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home.
