Viborg look to Energi Viborg Arena supporters for inspiration before OB match

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Viborg form and stats

With 2 Superliga wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Viborg are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Viborg after consecutive victories at their own ground.

It's back home for Viborg, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating AGF away with the result 2-0. Jatta and Grot found the net in that victory. Lonwijk (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.34/10. Lonwijk hit four key passes and had 26 successful passes (of 30 total).

2-2 away at Vejle before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Viborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost one.

Viborg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. Viborg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

OB form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for OB so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-5 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

OB go into this game after a win, the home game against Vejle that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Alm when Svendsen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. The attacker Svendsen got a match rating of 8.23 in that game. Svendsen scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus SønderjyskE that ended 2-2.

OB are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Defensive performances away have varied in quality as OB have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
