SonderjyskE vs Lyngby BK
, KO: 18:00 Jul 26, 2024, Sydbank Park
SONDERJYSKE host Lyngby in a Friday night Danish Super Liga clash with both teams looking to bounce back from defeats in tier opening fixtures. SonderjyskE have the upper hand in recent meetings and will be confident of edging this one in front of their fans.
SonderjyskE began their Superliga campaign with a 1-0 defeat at Silkeborg last Sunday. They held their own for long periods and had several scoring opportunities but just could not find the breakthrough.
Manager Thomas Norgaard will be keen to bounce back and will take confidence from his team’s home record last season in the second tier. SonderjyskE are unbeaten in their last six matches at Sydbank Park, claiming four wins in that run.
Lyngby battled relegation last season and could be set for another difficult campaign, judging by their opening fixture. Morten Karlsen’s men were beaten 2-0 at home by Copenhagen, in a clash where they could only manage two attempts on target.
The result appears to be an extension of last season’s struggles as Lyngby have now picked up just three wins from their last 11 Superliga matches, stretching back to March. Their away record is also poor having picked up just one win from their last 11 Superliga away matches.
How the bookies view it: SonderjyskE to prevail
SonderjyskE have been installed as overwhelming favourites with a home win priced at 19/20 by Betfred. A victory for Lyngby is valued at 5/2 while Betfred is also offering odds of 23/10 for a draw.
Head to head: SonderjyskE with recent edge
SonderjyskE and Lyngby have 11 wins each and six draws from 28 previous matches. SonderjyskE have won three of the last four fixtures and picked up a 2-1 victory in the most recent meeting back in 2021.
Players to watch: Ingasson to deliver
Kristall Ingasson was one of the standout players for SonderjyskE last season, scoring eight goals in the First Division. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on to score anytime on Friday at 2/1 by Betfred.
Frederik Gytkjaer is usually the furthest player forward for Lyngby and will be the one to watch on Friday. The striker had a quiet outing in the opening fixture but could be backed to find his rhythm at 11/4 by Betfred.
Probable line-ups
Kristall Ingasson was a second half substitute for SonderjyskE last time out and could be handed a start on Friday. Jose Gallegos is also pushing for a start after coming off the bench at halftime in the opening fixture.
Despite having a quiet outing in the opening fixture, Frederik Gytkjaer should retain his place in attack alongside Saevar Magnusson. Lauge Sandgrav is expected to feature in midfield while Andreas Bjelland should start in defence.
SonderjyskE: Flo, Oggesen, Soulas, Barkarson, Gretarsson, Emini, Vinderslev, Nikolov, Gallegos, Ingasson, Djantou
Lyngby BK: Storch, Finnsson, Lissens, Bjelland, Gregor, Storm, Amon, Sandgrav, Winther, Magnusson, Gytkjaer
Anything else catch the eye?
SonderjyskE and Lyngby are not particularly convincing at the back and should serve up goals on Friday. Both teams could be backed to score at 8/11 by Betfred, who is also offering 5/6 for over 2.5 goals while over 3.5 goals is priced at 9/4.
A tight opening could be on the cards here, so the second half could be tipped to produce the most goals at 11/10 with Betfred.
