Straining Esbjerg hope to pull off a small shock when they welcome high-flying Lyngby in the upcoming league match. It’s 10th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate confidence.

Insights:
  • Esbjerg have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Lyngby have the most scored goals in the second half (30) in First Division

Esbjerg have had a bad season and will be relegated from First Division. Lyngby is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
