Esbjerg vs Vendsyssel FF Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Two of the Superliga’s new boys go head to head in the second weekend of the campaign. Vendsyssel head to Esbjerg on Saturday, as the visitors aim to follow up a victory in the opening weekend. They pulled off a 3-2 victory over OB to announce their return to the top flight, but can they add to that with another three points in this trip? Or will this be a first victory of the season for Esbjerg?

The visitors won home and away against Esbjerg last season, but can they repeat that? That would mark a strong start for the visitors, who won in entertaining fashion a week ago. Both sides have impressed in their first game of the campaign, as they aim to avoid a quick return back to the second tier. The hosts pulled off a 1-1 draw with Nordsjaelland, who spent midweek in Europa League action. That’s a solid way to start, and they return to their own ground on Saturday aiming to carry on that momentum.

These two sides enjoyed impressive seasons on their way to the top flight last term, and they will each be looking to impress in the top flight. Both sides were fantastic going forward on their way to promotion, and we are expecting an exciting clash this weekend, with these two seeing plenty of goals in their opening match of the campaign.

The hosts have scored 1.88 goals per game at home in the second tier last season, but they were terrible defensively. They conceded 69% of their total goals at their own ground, with 65% of their home matches seeing both teams score. They conceded in 71% of their home outings against second tier opposition, and that’s likely to be a problem for them going forward in the Superliga. They’re unlikely to change their style, so we expect them to entertain in the top flight this season.

Meanwhile, Vendsyssel hit 1.88 goals per game on the road this season, while they racked up 59 goals in total as they won promotion. They found the net in 88% of their league games, including two good results against Esbjerg. They saw both teams score in 75% of their games last term, so we expect a high scoring clash here. The last four meetings between these two have seen both teams score, while they shared 11 goals between them last term. We’re backing BTTS, while we’re going for a 2-2 draw.
