Esbjerg

LWWDLL

Esbjerg will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 1. division loss in their previous game against FC Helsingør.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Esbjerg have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Esbjerg have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals on the way. Even so, we must now wait to see if such a trend will continue on here in this match.

Their past results show that Esbjerg:

• haven't been beaten in the league by HB Køge in their last 3 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 3 home league matches.

HB Køge

DDDLLL 📉

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Fredericia in 1. division action, HB Køge will be aiming to make amends here.

It has become apparent that HB Køge have been starved of goals over their last six clashes, netting the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, Svanerne have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 10.

Their past results show that HB Køge:

• haven't beaten Esbjerg when they have played them away from home in the previous 9 league matches. A really bad run.
• are without an away win for the past 3 league games.
