Vejle - Odense SAS Liga

[trustpick]

Vejle - OB Odense Denmark SAS Liga 23-07-2008

The last game in the first round this season in the SAS Liga.

Odense is coming after a 2-2 draw at home against the english side Aston Villa in the Intertoto Cup.
Overall the result is a good one for Odense , as , especially in the first half, Aston Villa was the only team in the field.

But OB kept their confidence and managed to equalize, so that's a good sign , they are able of coming back in the game.

They have improved a lot , and the expectations are high in their side.

Their first game will be against newcomers , Vejle.

Odense's coach is aware that the game will be hard , thinking that Vejle want to impress in their first game in SAS Liga, on their new stadium of 10.000 people capacity : " I am sure that the players are well aware that it
will be no walkover . All the focus is directed against them right now, and there has not been talked about Aston Villa since Sunday morning" - that's good , especially when we know the value of Villa's players and the resut
from the first leg.

It will be very important for OB to start the season with a good result.
Except Esben Hansen , that will be replaced by Peter Nymann , all the playrs are available.

On the othe hand, the hosts, Vejle , are aware that SAS Liga has a totally different level from what they are used too:
Ove Christensen , Vejle coach :"The mistakes that we could get away with in the 1. division, will be punished promptly"

Another statement of their coach may take us to think that the players of Vejle may be a bit overwelhemed by some of the big names that play in this ligue:"We should show a little more courage to take decisions.At the same time we must show tactical skill, energy"

I believe that OB has enough power to take all 3 points from this game, but of course these kind of games are always tricky as we don't know how Vejle will perform, we are not familiar with their style of play.
That's why small stakes are recommended as the value is definetely on the guests side.

BET : ODENSE TO WIN
STAKE : 4/10
ODDS :around 1.85
