Esbjerg – HB Koge

Esbjerg play host to visiting opponents HB Køge at Blue Water Arena in the 1. division tie on Monday. Esbjerg won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 1. division defeat in their last game at the hands of Jammerbugt. They have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals during that time. Esbjerg have not lost a league tie with HB Køge in their last 5 matches.

HB Køge go into this match following on from a 3-0 1. division win with the eclipse of Fredericia in their most recent outing. Looking at their form, and HB Køge have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in all. They haven’t won against Esbjerg when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 league games. A really bad run.

HB Køge will likely be able to break down this Esbjerg side, although it is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat. We reckon that it will be a very close game with a victory for Esbjerg.
