Only a win will satisfy the Esbjerg supporters in this Blue Water Arena clash with Hvidovre, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the First Division table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Esbjerg and Hvidovre.
Esbjerg form and stats
Esbjerg have collected seven points from their first three First Division games here at Blue Water Arena, a promising start.
Esbjerg travelled for their previous game, a trip to Kolding IF that ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a Landspokal Cup home match hosting Silkeborg in a game that was won 2-1.
The manager T. Bech will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hobro in only four days.
The Esbjerg fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Esbjerg have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Hvidovre form and stats
Things could have gone better for Hvidovre in their First Division away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Hvidovre failed to get anything from their last game, a First Division home match vs Silkeborg (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-5. Preceding that game was the away Landspokal Cup victory against KFUM with the score of 2-0.
Hvidovre lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Hvidovre have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. For Hvidovre, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
