Life has been a bit difficult for Esbjerg so far, and the same description fits Fremad Amager. These weathered teams pray for some important points here.

Insights:
  • Esbjerg is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Fremad Amager have the fewest points from losing position (4) in First Division

Esbjerg have had a bad season and will be relegated from First Division. Fremad are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable. This football stadium uses grass, unlike Fremad Amager's home arena. The latest 32 games by the guests on grass have resulted in 6 wins, 4 draws and 22 losses.

These are hustling days for the host team, as they were in action only three days ago in the First Division. Thankfully the previous game, versus Vendsyssel, was also a home game here at Blue Water Arena. The away team is better rested.
