OB form and stats

OB, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) at home in Superliga, have collected 25 points from their home games so far after 7-4-2.

OB's last game was hosting Midtjylland and winning 3-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting København (0-4).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier OB matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from five games).

The OB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 19 in 13 matches. From these home matches, OB have conceded only 9 goals.

Esbjerg form and stats

Playing away, Esbjerg have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats so far this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Esbjerg are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Esbjerg delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Nordsjælland in their previous match; a Superliga game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Brøndby with the score of 1-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Esbjerg playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 1 home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Esbjerg as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games. As opposed to that, Esbjerg have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Esbjerg - OB 0-0 entered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 3 - 3 (OB wins - draws - Esbjerg wins).
