Vejle form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, Vejle have managed 2 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Vejle Stadion, but a victory now would be sweet for Vejle.

Vejle are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus København. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Horsens.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vejle as they are travelling to their away game against Randers in the Landspokal Cup. That match is three days after this one.

The Vejle fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Vejle have conceded 14 from these games.

OB form and stats

OB have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 2-3-4 (9 played). OB has drawn their two previous away games.

OB has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to SønderjyskE for a Superliga game that ended a draw (1-1). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Randers.

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

OB have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 12 goals have been scored. As for defending, OB rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 14 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the OB - Vejle 0-1 played earlier this season. Vejle-OB H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Vejle one win, OB eight wins, one draw. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
