Odense BK vs Sonderjyske Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

These two sides had their struggles last season, but can they put that to one side as they hope for better times this term? Both sides started with defeats, and that has left them struggling at the bottom of the table after the first round of matches. They head in to Sunday’s meeting looking for a turnaround, but which of these two sides will be able to deliver it?

Odense had started the campaign full of hope, after they won all of their preseason games following a poor domestic campaign. However, that momentum quickly stopped, as they went down 3-2 to newly promoted Vendsyssel. That’s a worrying way to kick off the campaign, and they need to turn things around with a positive result this weekend. Given that the visitors won just a quarter of their away trips last season, will OB get back on track with their result?

The visitors had a poor campaign, and these two sides ultimately finished the season in first and second place in one of the four team relegation groups. They did pull away from their opponents, but that just about kept them safe after a tough year. On the bright side, Sonderjyske did have an entertaining season in terms of goals, as they averaged 1.38 per game on the road. However, while the majority of their goals were scored away, that didn’t cancel out the fact that they also conceded 65% of their total goals on the road.

They shipped over 1.6 per game on their travels, which allows OB an opportunity to get forward and score goals here. Having scored at least twice in their last eight games, the home side are looking strong going forward. Their issue is that they also can’t keep goals out at the other end, conceding in 69% of their games last term. After shipping three last weekend – whilst letting in eight goals in their last four meetings with Sonderjyske – we aren’t confident in the home side’s defence.

We see over 2.5 goals landing here, with these two each seeing both teams score in their opening match. The visitors come in to this trip having seen over 2.5 land in 69% of their away trips last term, while it has landed in five of their last six. We’re backing over 2.5 in this one, while we see the home side returning to their preseason form and grabbing a 2-1 victory.
