Esbjerg are fourth in the league table and have been playing confidently at home. They beat Aalborg 1-0 in their last home game, having previously thrashed B 93 5-1. Their attack looks formidable, especially at home, and the motivation to strengthen their place in the promotion zone adds to their confidence.
Køge are in deep crisis, sitting in penultimate place and having lost 4 of their last 5 matches. The team has serious problems in defense, conceding an average of more than two goals per game, and is weak in attack. Their away form is particularly dismal - just one point in three away matches.
