Esbjerg form and stats

There's been little loot from Esbjerg's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 10 away games in the Superliga. Esbjerg only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Esbjerg are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Impressive finishing from Rodolph Austin secured the home win 1-0 against København in their previous game. Prior to that match, the Esbjerg manager L. Olsen faced defeat when travelling to Randers and losing 0-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Esbjerg playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were zero Esbjerg wins, one draw and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Esbjerg as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. For Esbjerg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
