This could be an interesting match as Esbjerg have their presumed home advantage while OB are ahead 4 points in the Superliga table.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Superliga. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Nordsjælland. There's been little rest and some travel, but OB will do their best.
