Home team have the motive

Esbjerg are doing great lately, especially after their three wins in the last four games. In the most recent one, they registered a 1-0 win in Brondby's home but the truth is that they were actually lucky as their opponent missed many chances, even a penalty. After these consecutive wins, Esbjerg had a four points difference from 4th-placed Odense. However, Odense won their own game this weekend and reduced their difference to one point. All players will be in contention, there are no injury or suspension worries.

Nordsjaelland haven't registered any win in their last 6 games. They are coming from two consecutive losses, the most recent one was to Midtjylland at their home (1-2). Now they sit on the 6th place of the table and there is no real motive for them in the remaining four games of the Championship playoffs. Defender Mumin is suspended, while Jensen (midfielder) and Frese (attacker) are injured.

Home team, who targets the third place that gives a ticket to Europa League qualifiers, has the advantage for me. Nordsjaelland seem to have no interest anymore after their negative results in these playoffs. I will opt for the home win, actually, I didn't expect such attractive odds for Nordsjaelland to win.
