Esbjerg vs Middelfart tips and predictions

Esbjerg mental strength makes them hard to oppose

It's first placed Esbjerg welcoming fourth placed Middelfart in this 2nd Division clash as the home team looks to pile on the pressure by adding to the 18 points that separate the sides.

The odds-on for the home side might not be for everyone but Middelfart are unlikely to be considering any realistic thoughts of victory.

The hosts go into the match having added 12 victories to their ledger from in their last 14 games.

This home squad is making the most of a recent run of form and they're gaining some impetus. Esbjerg scored two or more goals in 17 of their recent 20 matches while also being supported with some strong defending. They have only conceded an average of 1.0 goals across their last 14 games. They'll not be expecting to give much away in this one.

Middelfart have had issues when not on their own turf lately. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 8 away matches. It sounds like basic punditry but this side probably doesn't have the minerals.

You'll be aware that Esbjerg have won all of the last 3 fixtures between the two sides.

Esbjerg are justifiable favourites and it's possible they just don't give anything away. It's not a strong view so maybe give it a miss but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market.
