Hobro team overview
Hobro have endured a difficult campaign and are currently performing below last season’s standards. After 12 matches, they have accumulated only 11 points, with a record of just two wins. Their attacking output is among the weakest in the league - only 13 goals in 12 matches - ranking them third-worst in scoring. However, there have been slight improvements in recent weeks, as they scored five goals across their last two fixtures against Kolding IF and Horsens, although they managed to earn only one point from those games.

Prediction
Considering the historical edge, home advantage, and slightly better overall form, Esbjerg fB enter this fixture as slight favourites. Both sides have struggled defensively in recent weeks, suggesting that goals could be on the cards. Esbjerg’s attacking depth and home form may give them the narrow edge, but Hobro’s ability to find the net even in defeat should not be overlooked. Both teams to score (BTTS) appears to be a safe betting angle, given Esbjerg’s defensive vulnerabilities and Hobro’s recent scoring trend.
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- BTTS occurred in Hobro’s last 3 league matches, while Hobro themselves have scored in 4 of their last 5 league outings.
- BTTS occurred in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head encounters between Esbjerg fB and Hobro.
- Esbjerg scored in 3 consecutive matches across all competitions.
