Esbjerg form and stats

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting HB Køge in just four days.

Just as the home team, Esbjerg have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 2 Esbjerg wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Esbjerg as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 4 victories from 26 games, relegation was a fact. Esbjerg's manager T. Bech are hoping to lead the team right back to Superliga at the first attempt.

Head 2 Head

As for the last five games between these two teams, there's zero Skive victories, zero draws and five Esbjerg wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
