In this First Division fixture, the teams meet at Esbjerg's ground, with the hosts sitting 12th on 5 points from 9 matches, while Aalborg BK are 5th with 13 points from 9 matches. The two sides' form contrasts sharply in terms of results: the hosts lost their most recent league match, while the visitors are unbeaten in the league over a run of matches. Esbjerg have clear problems picking up points. This season they have won only one match out of 9, and the defence has already conceded 19 goals, coming off second best in almost every match they play. Aalborg BK, meanwhile, are unbeaten in the league over a run of 5 matches, but drew as many as 4 of those. Their attack does not score many, but they rarely come off worse against opponents. This game is likely to see Aalborg BK dominate possession and gradually probe for openings, while Esbjerg focus on defending and waiting to counter through the pace of their forward line. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how well Esbjerg cope with the visitors' sustained attacking phases. If they hold firm and do not concede early, the game will drag on and could finish closely contested.
