Esbjerg form and stats

There were no winners in Esbjerg's previous match, a First Division home game that ended 2-2 vs Jammerbugt (placed 9th). As mentioned above, Esbjerg drew the match against Jammerbugt. Manager R. Vrabec brought on O. Svendsen to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
