Esbjerg
Esbjerg reached the Cup Final last season, but lost to Randers FC after extra time. This year has been up and down so far, and they are currently 6th in the table after a rather inconsistent period, where they neither have won or lost two games in a row. They have scored a lot of goals - 29 in 16 games, which is just one less than F.C. Copenhagen - but their defence has let in 28.
