Esbjerg fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 2-1 1. division victory vs Lyngby BK.
Tobias Storm (45') was the scorer for Lyngby BK.
It has been seldom in recent games that Esbjerg have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Esbjerg have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 9 goals on the way. We will have to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.
Since a losing effort in their last game against AC Horsens in 1. division action, Kolding IF will be hoping to turn things around here.
Kristian Kirkegaard (55') was the scorer for AC Horsens.
Looking at their form, and Kolding IF have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals overall. Defensively, Kolding IF just haven’t been too solid at all.
An examination of their past head to head clashes going back to 06/04/2025 shows us that Esbjerg have won 1 of these games & Kolding IF 4, with the tally of drawn results standing at 1.
A combined sum of 16 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 7 of them for Esbjerg and 9 coming from Kolding. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.67.
The previous league fixture between these clubs was 1. division match day 29 on 09/05/2026 when it finished Esbjerg 3-0 Kolding IF.
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Esbjerg gaffer Sancheev Manoharan to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Peter Bjur (Knock) will miss out.
Kolding IF boss Anders Jensen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Nebiyou Perry (Knock), Niels Morberg (Knock) and Magnus Saaby (Knock) are not able to play.
We feel that in this game, Kolding IF will likely be able to break down this Esbjerg side, however that might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We can see a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Esbjerg at the end of the match. Should be an interesting one.
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game in the WDW market, backing Esbjerg is available for 1.91, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 3.5 & taking a punt on the winner to be Kolding IF will get you 3.4. Those are the top bets on offer as of now.
