Aarhus Fremad (home)
- Aarhus Fremad have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 6 home games in the 1st Division 2025-2026.
- There is more to like about Aarhus Fremad on paper because coach Morten Dahm Kjaergaard has installed a possession-first, proactive approach with the ball and his players have the mobility and flair to stretch play wide and create chances, which is also reflected in the Aarhus Fremad vs Esbjerg F.B. betting tips for this fixture.
Esbjerg F.B. (away)
- Aarhus Fremad and Esbjerg F.B. are level on 17 points in 8th and 9th place in the 1st Division 2025-2026 after 13 games, making the Aarhus Fremad vs Esbjerg F.B. prediction particularly intriguing.
- Esbjerg F.B. are a more solid side that is beginning to look like the team Sancheev Manoharan wants to create at the club after his appointment as head coach.
- But they can be a bit negative, which is why they have only scored seven goals in six away matches in the 1st Division 2025-2026, while Aarhus have shipped eight in as many at home.
Head-to-Head
- Aarhus Fremad have the better recent H2H record with 1 win and 1 draw from the last two meetings.
- Aarhus Fremad and Esbjerg F.B. drew 1-1 at Esbjerg's ground three weeks ago in a typical 1st Division matchup between two sides that are hard to get a bead on, according to the latest Aarhus Fremad vs Esbjerg F.B. betting tips.
- This is no different to their previous five meetings, which have averaged 2.0 goals per game, which is not a lot, but enough for a wide-open matchup.
Key Players
- Kasper Andersen, who leads the line with eight goals in 13 league matches, is the biggest threat, but the full-backs often overlap to support his advances.
- Andreas Lausen, the top scorer in the Esbjerg squad with three league goals, will be a target for the home defense as they try to break through a 4-3-3 or narrow diamond that can be hard to penetrate.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make Fremad narrow favourites here at 1.9, with Esbjerg available at 3.55, which seems a little odd given the sides are tied on 17 points in eighth and ninth respectively.
- We’re taking the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.6 because this fixture is usually an open game and both sides have the capacity to attack and score.
Prediction
Aarhus Fremad’s home form has been patchy with only one win in their last three at this ground, but Esbjerg F.B. have only won once in the same period, so the hosts are our selection to edge it.
