three games, and they’ve already drawn the same amount from five matches during the new campaign. For the record Esbjerg won their first of three meetings last season (4-2), but Odense won on the other two occasions ( 2-1 0-2).
Since winning the first division and being promoted at the end of the 2011-12 campaign, the hosts have seen their season finish progressively drop from 4-5-8-11, so ex Derby County and England international Colin Todd has been asked to take over management. While first signs have not been that positive the 67 year old did well with is ex club Randers, and to be fair he’s inherited a club with potential. And, while the hosts we not very active during the recent transfer window, they probably have enough young talent coming through.
The Striped have decided to stick with manager Kent Nielsen for another season, so they will hoping to build on last seasons eighth placed finish. Back in 2009 to 2011 Odense finished runner-up in the Superliga league on three separate occasions, so the target is set. And, while they probably don’t have the players for such a lofty finish, they appear to have a similar quality squad to last season.
With regards to team news, the hosts are without suspended Awer Mabil, plus injured pair Jesper Lauridgen and Jesper Jorgensen. The visitors are reporting just one player missing, Jakob Thomasen.
PREDICTION
Esbjerg are clearly better than their league form suggests, and they have players returning from international duty. Nevertheless, they have a tough opponent in Odense, so they will clearly need to make sure that they control more of the possession. While it’s hard to predict an exact winner, we see both teams scoring and goals going over 2.5. The bet is clear has both teams will attack and this should be an attractive game!
BET: OVER 2.5 goals
