Hobro-Esbjerg preview

Friday 10/4 18.30

Hobro are playing some solid football, and continues to surprise positively. Perhaps it is just the time to acknowledge that they are a decent side. They have good and motivated players in every line, and their work rate is amazing. Add to this that they in Mads Hvilsom has a excellent finisher, who is a clear number two on the league top goalscoring list with 12 goals. Hobro have benefitted with a great fitness condition in the squad, and they are rarely hit by injuries or suspensions. For this match, only concern is offensive midfielder Mikkel Thygesen who is reported to be doubtful. Esbjerg (9th) are difficult team to assess, since they made several new signing at the winter window and lost some vital players at the same time. Overall they seem a bit weaker, but they surely still have some quality in the side. The Swedish striker Daniel Larsson is getting closer to full fitness and he is starting to contribute with his great pace, which will cause Hobro big problems if they set their backline too high. Esbjerg will be strengthened by the return of left back Jonas Knudsen.

Esbjerg are likely to be dominant on the ball with Hobro trying to exploit counter-attacking opportunities. The match is likely to be quite equal, especially since Esbjerg tend to struggle against defensive minded teams. Thus, the value should be in the home team at current odds.
