Brondby return to action in Danish Superliga when they play host to Vejle at the Brondby Stadion on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Ivan Prelec’s visitors picking up a comfortable home victory over Odense Boldklub.
Meanwhile, Brondby’s quest to reach the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages suffered a crushing blow on Thursday, when they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Vikingur in the first leg of their third qualifying round clash in Iceland.
This came after a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Viborg in the Superliga last Sunday, a result which saw their nine-game unbeaten run, including friendlies, (7W, 2D) come to an end.
Brondby have picked up six points from the first three games of the new league campaign and will be looking to put together an early season form as they eye a first title win since 2021.
On the other hand, Vejle turned in an attacking show of class last Friday, when they cruised to a 4-0 victory over Odense Boldklub at the Vejle Stadium.
Prior to that, Prelec’s men kicked off the new Superliga campaign with a 1-1 stalemate against Randers on July 20, six days before losing 2-0 at the hands of Copenhagen.
Vejle have come into the new league season looking to improve on their performance from last term, where they finished fourth in the relegation round table, just one point above the drop zone.
