Game week two of the First Division season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Esbjerg - HB Køge preview:

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Skive.

Esbjerg form and stats

The Esbjerg manager T. Bech might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Esbjerg goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the First Division.

It's back home for Esbjerg, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Skive away with the result 2-0. Heartbreak before that as Esbjerg lost 1-3 at Randers's place.

There will be little rest for Esbjerg after this match as they are travelling to Silkeborg for a First Division game in only three days.

Last season, Esbjerg's league statistics were 4 wins, 6 draws and 16 losses, resulting in a 13th position in the Superliga. Over these 26 matches they scored 22 goals and conceded 44. Playing at home last season Esbjerg managed 3-4-6 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 18 conceded.

HB Køge form and stats

Køge are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the First Division against Hvidovre (placed 8th). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Næstved.

The schedule is very tough for HB Køge now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A First Division game at Kolding IF is waiting in only three days.

In total they scored 43 and conceded 47 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 8 and lost 6 with 23/27 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Esbjerg-HB Køge H2H statistics last seven meetings regardless of arena: Esbjerg four wins, HB Køge one win, two draws. four of these seven matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
