Fredericia vs OB: match statistics

I back the away win (2) — OB has 10 wins this season versus Fredericia’s 8 and sits 8th in the table while the hosts are 10th. Offensively the visitors look more efficient: OB scores 1.36 goals away on average compared to Fredericia’s 1.00 at home; additionally the shot conversion rate is 12% for OB versus 8% for Fredericia, and the share of matches without a goal is 21% vs 38%. Defensively both teams are vulnerable to goals, but Fredericia is worse — they concede 2.08 goals at home on average with xG against 1.94, while OB concedes 2.00 away with xG against 1.71. In the last 5 matches Fredericia averaged 1.2 points (1W, 3D, 1L) and OB 1.4 points (2W, 1D, 2L), giving the visitors a slight form edge. Given the average total goals in hosts’ matches is 3.08 and in visitors’ away games 3.36, I expect an open game with a higher probability of OB winning.

The BTTS scenario is highly likely: Fredericia has a season BTTS rate of 86%, OB 79%, and BTTS occurred in 80% of their last 5 matches. Both sides regularly score and concede — Fredericia averages 1.86 goals for and 1.86 against, OB averages 1.36 for and 2.00 against; season totals are 38 scored and 60 conceded for Fredericia and 45 scored and 54 conceded for OB. xG confirms the exchange of chances: Fredericia has xG 1.55 and OB xG 1.36, while defenses allow on average 1.38 (Fredericia) and 1.71 (OB), indicating both teams generate roughly 1.3–1.6 xG and face defenses permissive to goals. Clean sheets are rare (14% for Fredericia and 7% for OB), and the percentage of matches over 2.5 goals is high (79% and 71%) with a large share of those overs accompanied by BTTS (71% and 64%), reinforcing the signal for both teams to score. I assess BTTS probability at 86% vs 14% and recommend a bet on BTTS - Yes.

Comparing xG and goal averages: Fredericia scores 1.86 goals on average (xG_for 1.55), OB scores 1.36 goals (xG_for 1.36); considering defensive xG conceded (OB xG_against 1.71, Fredericia xG_against 1.38) we get expected 1.63 for Fredericia and 1.37 for OB (total 3.00 goals). Seasonally Over 1.5 occurred in 93% of Fredericia’s matches and 86% of OB’s matches, while BTTS is 86% vs 79%, so I assign a 92% chance for Over 1.5. Over 2.5 is also strong: season rates 79% for Fredericia and 71% for OB, and in the last 5 matches Over 2.5 is 80% and 60% respectively, hence a 75% probability for Over 2.5. Over 3.5 is less clear — seasonal 57%/43% yields about 50%, but accounting for the xG distribution and league average 3.09 I downgrade this to ~45% for Over 3.5 (Under 55%). Therefore the strongest signal from the data is Over 1.5 (92%) with expected 1.63–1.37 goals and additional support from 5.57 vs 4.00 shots on target and conversion rates of 15% vs 12%.

Fredericia has a stronger offensive profile: home goals per game 1.86 versus 1.36 for OB, xG 1.55 vs 1.36, and 5.57 shots on target compared to 4.0 for the visitors, with a conversion rate of 15% vs 12%. The hosts led at the break in 8 matches (57%) versus 5 (36%) for OB, and their average goals scored by half-time is 0.86 vs 0.71, which increases the likelihood of Fredericia holding a lead at half-time. However, OB have averaged 1.8 points in second halves over the last 5 matches and have won 60% of second halves, while the hosts have only averaged 0.6 points and 20% second-half wins, so the visitors often stage a turnaround after the break. Additionally, the hosts have a higher overall win rate 50% versus 21% for OB and better average points scored by half-time 1.79 vs 1.29, which ultimately favors a home win. Therefore the most likely scenario is Fredericia leading at half-time and winning the match (1/1), although variants with a draw at half-time (1/X) or a full-time draw (X/X) remain realistic given OB’s strong second-half performances.
