FC Helsingør form and stats
4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the First Division numbers at home for FC Helsingør so far this season.
No payout for Helsingør in their previous match, an away game at HB Køge that ended in defeat 1-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fremad Amager in a game that was won 2-1.
The defeat against HB Køge was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by L. Jordan).
A decent goal production from Helsingør in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. Helsingør have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Esbjerg form and stats
Esbjerg's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Esbjerg collect 16 points from their 7 away matches in the First Division. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Esbjerg have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of six victories in a row regardless of arena. Esbjerg have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
It's the second away game in a row for Esbjerg, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Vendsyssel (placed 11th) in the First Division last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Kolding IF.
