Vejle vs AB: match statistics

AB is the favorite based on a clear advantage in goals scored over the last 5 matches: 12 goals (2.40 per match) versus Vejle’s 4 goals (0.80 per match). Both teams concede at a similar rate — AB 7 goals in 5 matches (1.40 per match) versus Vejle 6 goals (1.20 per match) — so the visitors’ advantage stems primarily from superior attacking efficiency. In the last 5 matches AB has won 3 and lost 2, while Vejle has won 2 and lost 3; average points per match 1.8 for AB vs 1.2 for Vejle confirms the visitors’ better consistency. Goal difference over this period is +5 for AB versus -2 for Vejle, which further supports a win for the visitors. It should be noted, however, that detailed home statistics (shots, possession) are incomplete in the provided data, limiting assessment of home advantage impact.

Based on the last 5 matches, Vejle has BTTS at 20% and scores on average 0.8 goals while conceding 1.2, whereas AB has BTTS 60% and scores 2.4 on average while conceding 1.4. Additionally, xG shows a clear advantage for AB: xG for AB is 2.04 vs 1.19 for Vejle, and Vejle has a higher xG against at 1.65, indicating weaker home defense. AB scored 12 goals in the last 5 matches, Vejle only 4 (Vejle conceded 6, AB conceded 7), so AB is likely to score, but the hosts rarely reciprocate with a goal. Considering the home side’s low BTTS (20%), Vejle’s low average goals scored (0.8) and AB’s clear attacking superiority, a 'No' on BTTS is the more likely scenario.

I project about 1.18 goals for Vejle and 1.85 goals for AB, totaling ~3.03 goals. In the last 5 matches Vejle scored on average 0.8 and conceded 1.2, while AB scored 2.4 and conceded 1.4; AB had 100% of matches over 2.5, Vejle 40%. xG confirms this trend: xG_for AB = 2.04 versus xG_against Vejle = 1.65, and xG_for Vejle = 1.19 versus xG_against AB = 1.17, which favors a higher final score. A Poisson model for a total of 3.03 yields about 81% for over 1.5, ~58% for over 2.5 and ~36% for over 3.5; considering AB’s 100% over 2.5 in the last 5, I upweight the probability of over 2.5 to ~62%. Therefore the strongest signal from the data is to play Over 2.5: the expected goals total of 3.03 and AB’s attacking dominance (2.4 avg) support this side.

Statistics from the last 5 matches clearly favor the visitors: AB scores an average of 2.4 goals per game versus Vejle’s 0.8 and has a 60% win rate in that period, while Vejle has a 40% win rate. At Half-Time a draw is more likely: AB averages 1.2 goals before the break and Vejle 0.4, but Vejle have kept a clean sheet at the break in 80% of those fixtures, which increases the probability of a 0-0 or draw HT. In the second half AB’s advantage is pronounced — the visitors average 1.2 goals after the break and have a second-half average of 2.2 compared to Vejle’s 0.4 and 1.4 on Vejle’s side, suggesting AB more frequently decides matches after Half-Time. Therefore the most likely scenario is a draw at Half-Time and an AB victory after 90 minutes (X/2); I assign a 34% probability to this option, and the combined chance of an away win across HT/FT outcomes (1/2 + X/2 + 2/2) is 57%, consistent with their 60% wins in the last 5 matches. I assign low weight to scenarios in which Vejle lead at the break and maintain the win (1/1 — 6%), because the hosts have a lower scoring average of 0.8 and a higher average of goals conceded of 1.2.
