📏 Form Guide

Esbjerg

LDLLDL ⚠

Esbjerg won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-1 DBU Pokalen loss in their previous game against Kolding IF.

It has not been often in recent games where Esbjerg have shown defensive steel. In fact, Esbjerg have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals during that time. That trend might not be continued into this game, though.

Hobro IK

DDLDLD 📉

The stats tell the story, and Hobro IK have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals overall. At the back, Hobro IK have not been doing too well.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Hobro IK:

• have not been beaten in their last 3 away league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 15 league games. They must be getting so desperate.

ℹ️ Team News: Esbjerg

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Esbjerg manager Troels Bech to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Leonel Montano (Unknown Injury) is out of contention. Con Ouzounidis is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

ℹ️ Team News: Hobro IK

Out of a mainly available squad, there is only the one fitness worry for the Hobro IK manager to be concerned about. Mads Hvilsom (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

In our view, Hobro IK will have to play well to see themselves scoring against this Esbjerg lineup who we think will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’ve gone for a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Esbjerg at the conclusion of the game.
