Brondby IF vs Vejle
, KO: 18:00 Jul 29, 2024, Brondby Stadion
BRONDBY host Vejle in a Monday night Danish Superliga fixture with both teams seeking their first win of the season. Brondby are coming off a fine showing in the Conference League on Thursday and should carry that form into Monday’s clash.
Brondby began their Superliga campaign with a 3-3 draw at Viborg last weekend. They constantly went behind but fought back every time, with Emmanuel Yeboah netting a brace and Clement Bischoff also on target.
The defensive display will be worrying to Jesper Sorensen, although the manager will take positives from their fighting spirit. They will be keen to make Brondby Stadion a fortress this season and showed signs of that with the 6-0 victory over Llapi in the Conference League on Thursday.
Vejle head into Monday’s clash off the back of a 3-2 home defeat to Randers in their opening Superliga fixture. German Onugkha’s brace appeared to have earned them a share of the spoils but they went on to concede an injury time winner.
Having struggled last season and going through the relegation round before securing their Superliga status, an opening day home defeat is a worrying sign for Vejle. Ivan Prelec’s men appear to be picking up where they left off last term having lost to Randers in their final fixture.
How the bookies view it: Brondby highly fancied
Brondby have been installed as overwhelming favourites with a home win priced at 4/9 by Betfred. A victory for Vejle is valued at 5/1 while Betfred is also offering odds of 16/5 for a draw.
Head to head: History favours Brondby
Brondby have a 20-7 advantage with seven draws from 34 previous matches against Vejle. They were also unbeaten in this fixture last season, claiming a win and a draw from the two meetings, although Vejle picked up a 2-0 victory in a friendly in June.
Players to watch: Yeboah to maintain good form
Emmanuel Yeboah has started the season on a positive note, netting a brace in Brondby’s opening fixture. The forward will be the one to watch on Monday and is priced at 6/4 by Betfred to get on the score sheet once again.
German Onugkha was also at the double in the opening fixture and could be worth keeping an eye on for Vejle. The forward is priced at 2/1 by Betfred to get on the score sheet once again.
Probable line-ups
Emmanuel Yeboah was a second half substitute for Brondby in the Conference League and could be given a start. Ohi Omoijuanfo is also expected to be included in the starting line-up and after getting among the goals on Thursday.
German Onugkha’s brace last time out could see him retain his place in attack for Vejle. Stefan Velkov should also continue in defence while Kristian Kirkegaard is pushing for a start in midfield after coming off the bench last time out.
Brondby: Pentz, Rasmussen, Lauritsen, Vanlerberghe, Klaiber, Wass, Nartey, Bischoff, Suzuki, Yeboah, Omoijuanfo
Vejle: Vekic, Provstgaard, Velkov, Kolinger, Albornoz, Hetemi, Kirkegaard, Hujber, Emmanoulidis, Juwara, Onugkha
Anything else catch the eye?

Having scored in both halves in their two fixtures this season, Brondby could be backed for a similar pattern at 11/10 with Betfred. Given the minimal odds for a straight home victory, a win and both teams to score could be considered at 15/8 with Betfred.
