FC Vestsjælland-OB

Monday 9/3 19.00

FC Vestsjælland (11th) are in a must-win position seven points behind OB just above the relegation line. FC Vestsjælland signed several new players in the winter break, but they have not capitalised from it. They managed to take a slim win against 1st Division side Brønshøj in Wednesday cup match (2-1), but the performance was not outstanding. For this match, FC Vestsjælland will have to do without their two central midfield veterans, Jan Kristiansen and Henrik Madsen (captain), which is far from optimal for a match of this importance. FC Vestsjælland are likely to change from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 formation (tried it in cup match). The hope is that this formation will give FC Vestsjælland more offensive power. OB (10th) were lucky to get a win against FC Copenhagen last weekend (1-0), but the win must have given them some much needed morale. OB have a quality side on paper, but still needs to make it work on the pitch. New-signing Thomas Dalgaard (league top goalscorer last season) could get his OB-debut in this match, although he is probably not capable of playing a full match yet.

Expect an intense match, where both teams fight against relegation. OB have more quality and with the absences of FC Vestsjælland, the away side must be weak favourites here. Bet365 with very nice odds on away win here. Hurry!

Recommendation: 2 – 2.70 at Bet365
