Viborg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at OB's place. The match ended 2-1 with Thomas and Ementa scoring. The victory against OB came after Thomas's winning goal. The Viborg manager Friis was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 66th minute. Gaaei was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.4 out of 10.

Hvidovre form and stats

The Superliga season is young and Hvidovre have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Hvidovre might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. AGF proved too strong as Hvidovre slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kæmpernes Arena. Jakobsen, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.35. Jakobsen hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Randers.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Hvidovre playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 2 home wins.

{2 goals} so far away for Hvidovre, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
