Esbjerg vs Silkeborg: Match guide and preview

It's no vacation for neither Esbjerg nor Silkeborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Silkeborg have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-7-16 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
