Odense BK
DWLLDL
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Viborg FF in Superliga competition, Odense BK and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Odense BK had 40% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Odense BK was Nicholas Mickelson (14'). Viborg got 17 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Nicolas Bürgy (21'), Ibrahim Said (80') and Malik Abubakari (94') scored for Viborg FF.
For 5 of the previous 6 clashes involving Odense BK, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game during that spell comes to a paltry 1.67, with the number of goals averaged by De Stribede equalling 0.5. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.
Their past results show that Odense BK:
- are undefeated by Randers in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
- are unbeaten in their previous 8 league matches away from home. They really have been good on their travels.
