OB-FC Vestsjælland preview

Tuesday 7/4 19.00

OB (10th) seemed to drop the pace after the win at FC Vestsjælland three games ago. After two losses in a row, OB need to get back on track here, otherwise the relegation line is suddenly relevant again. Therefore, this is game that OB cannot afford to lose. They should not have too, since they have a good team with quality in all lines. However, they have been struggling with some injuries, and it is still uncertain whether midfielder Mikkel Desler (been great recently) and striker Kenneth Zohore return for the match. If they return, OB can pick the best eleven, which should make them big favourites here. FC Vestsjælland (11th) have been terrible in 2015. A SoTR of 29% in 2015 shows how poor FC Vestsjælland have been. The defence has been anything else but solid, and is probably a partial reason for FC Vestsjælland letting defender Michael Christensen leave immediately for Norwegian club Start. Offensively, the new signings (Greek striker Vellios in particular) have not had the wanted positive influence. One positive influence is left back Michael Lumb, who returned in last round after having been out for the entire season (0-1 loss to Brøndby). This was also the best match of 2015 for FC Vestsjælland and Lumb is undoubtedly a huge influence on the away side. Central midfielder Eggert Jónsson is banned.

FC Vestsjælland are in our book the poorest team in the league, and although the last match signalled better times ahead, we still believe that odds 2.00 for a home win for a stronger OB side is nice.

Recommendation: 1 – 2.00 at Bet365

UPDATE: Zohore is out for OB, why Dalgaard will be the lone striker. Desler is expected to be back in the line-up.
