Hvidovre form and stats

The Hvidovre fans got no joy from their last match, a Landspokal Cup game also here at Pro Ventilation Arena: A 2-3 defeat against Vejle. Before that game, the home loss against Skive with the scoreline 1-2.
Hvidovre have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Hvidovre with 17 goals conceded in these matches.
Esbjerg form and stats
