9-1-0 is the performance here at Energi Viborg Arena so far in the First Division, giving Viborg a total of 28 from their 10 games here. Outstanding results! Viborg haven’t lost a league-game in 20 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Hobro, 183 days ago. Two home wins in a row for Viborg bring valid hopes of a third.
Viborg are confident in defense, having played 479 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Viborg are returning here after visiting Skive in a First Division game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hvidovre in a game that was won 1-0.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Esbjerg, who have the most points (25) away in First Division, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 25 points collected from 10 First Division games. 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the record so far. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Silkeborg game have they lost an away game, meaning Esbjerg has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
