FC Vestsjælland-Hobro

Sunday 7/12 14.00

FC Vestsjælland (11th) put up a good fight in the mission impossible match in Herning last weekend (lost 2-1), and maybe the players are starting to understand that relegation is a serious concern unless the performances improve. FC Vestsjælland were without two key players, striker Rasmus Festersen and central defender Jean-Claude Bozga who both return here. Team captain and central midfielder Henrik Madsen is doubtful. FC Vestsjælland should be able to field a team with a lot of experience, but limited individual qualities (Festersen is the go-to-guy). Hobro (7th) lost a fairly even match against Randers last weekend (0-1), and are starting to feel the pressure from below. This match is vital if they are to remain out of immediate relegation contention. Hobro do have a fine team, admittedly with less experience than FC Vestsjælland, but instead more offensive quality from the likes of Antipas, Hvilsom and Berggreen. Hobro have no reported injury concerns.

The last time they met Hobro won comfortably 3-1 (in Hobro). But FC Vestsjælland are typically much stronger at home, and we should expect them to be dominant here (they really have to win this!). At the same time free entrance is offered for the home fans, so FC Vestsjælland will be eager to push forward. This could give Hobro excellent chances for exploiting their counter attacking qualities. We expect Hobro to come away with something here.
