AaB-OB

Saturday 2/11 17.00

Things are starting to look better for OB (4th). After two victories at Esbjerg and SønderjyskE and a draw against Brøndby, in which winger Rasmus Falk was unstoppable, they are now in the top six. They want to stay there after visiting the 2nd place in the league namely AaB (2nd). Manager Troels Bech started with only one man on top in a 4-5-1. We think that OB has the best midfield in the Superliga and making it more compact could be a good idea. It worked when Brøndby visited. Even though it was a draw OB created chances and could have won but they needed a top striker. In the same match defender Anders Møller Christensen went out with a concussion and is probably out for this match. It is a loss for the defence because he is experienced and played well against Brøndby, but his replacement Høegh did so too. AaB have risen to 2nd place and although there is no consistency in their result. Unlike other teams AaB doesn’t have winning or losing streaks and they are still one of the top teams at the moment. Striker Rasmus Jönsson could be the needed replacement for Helenius (now Aston Villa) and he assisted on the own goal SønderjyskE scored. On the other end of the pitch left back Jakob Ahlmann is back after a suspension. Both squads have a cup match this midweek so although AaB might have a small advantage since they face a weaker opponent.

The two teams match up quite well and there are no apparent mismatches between their expected starting line-ups. It is a match without a clear favourite. Both squads are in good form at the moment and it is a close call. We reckon that even though OB are visiting they could continue their streak of not losing.

Recommendation: X2 – 1.95 Bet365
