Brondby will host Vejle at Brondby Stadion on Monday, in the second matchday of the Danish Superliga. After narrowly missing out on the title last season, finishing just one point behind FC Midtjylland, Brondby is eager to start this campaign strong.
Despite a mixed pre-season and a dramatic 3-3 draw in their opener against Viborg FF, Brondby comes into this match boosted by a resounding 6-0 victory over KF Llapi in the Europa Conference League.
Vejle's Battle for Survival
Vejle, on the other hand, managed to secure their top-flight status with a third-place finish in the relegation playoffs last season.
Striker German Onugkha has been a key player, scoring eight goals in nine playoff matches and starting this season with two goals in their opening match against Randers FC, which ended in a narrow 3-2 defeat.

Match Prediction
Head-to-Head and Form Analysis
Brondby has historically dominated Vejle, with their last competitive defeat to Vejle dating back to 2009.
Vejle’s recent friendly win against Brondby might offer a psychological edge, but Brondby's competitive edge and recent 6-0 triumph should instill confidence.

Given Brondby’s strong home advantage and recent form, we predict a 2-1 victory for Brondby.
Their attacking trio looks in fine form, and despite Vejle’s fighting spirit, Brondby’s overall quality should see them through to their first league win of the season.
