Considering ๐From the better box:
If youโre backing this one, hereโs the no-bull take.
Esbjerg at 1.64 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the Club Friendlies (2x45 min. or 2x40 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest theyโre due a regression โ analytics guys would fade them.

The wise guysโll likely poke at the Draw 4.33 โ these derbies often play out tight, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
