The Danish Superliga clash between SonderjyskE and Lyngby Boldklub is set to kick off at the Sydbank Park.
Both teams are eager to bounce back from opening-day defeats and claim their first victory of the season. Here’s a detailed preview of the match, including team news, form, and predictions.
Team Form
SonderjyskE's Recent Performance
SonderjyskE had a disappointing start to the new season with a 1-0 defeat against Silkeborg.
This followed a pre-season where they failed to secure a single win, drawing three times and losing to Copenhagen.
However, their previous season was impressive, finishing first in the 1st Division and earning promotion.
Key to their success was their stellar away record, remaining unbeaten in 15 of their 16 league games.
Lyngby Boldklub's Recent Performance
Lyngby Boldklub also started the season with a defeat, losing 2-0 to Copenhagen.
Their pre-season form was equally underwhelming, with three consecutive losses before a victory against Landskrona BoIS.
Last season, Lyngby struggled, finishing just above the relegation zone. Their away form has been particularly poor, with only one win in their last eight away matches.
Team News
SonderjyskE
SonderjyskE's new signing, Ivan Djantou, is a doubt after being forced off injured against Silkeborg.
Kristall Ingason may get his first start in Djantou's absence. The midfield trio of Ivan Nikolov, Rasmus Vinderslev, and Sefer Emini are expected to remain unchanged, while the defence will likely feature Andreas Oggesen, Maxime Soulas, Daniel Gretarsson, and Atli Barkarson. Nicolai Flo is set to start in goal.
Lyngby Boldklub
Lyngby will be without several key players, including Baptiste Rolland, Rezan Corlu, and Mathias Kristensen, all sidelined due to injuries.
Former SonderjyskE player Marcel Romer and Ghanaian midfielder Enock Otoo are also unavailable.
The lineup will likely see Storch in goal, with Gregor, Bjelland, and Lissens forming the defence.
The midfield and attack will feature Storm, Winther, Sandgrav, Finnsson, Magnusson, Gytkjaer, and Amon.
Prediction
Both teams are looking to recover from opening defeats, but Lyngby’s poor away record and injury concerns make them less likely to secure a win.
SonderjyskE, playing at home and eager to make a mark in their return to the Superliga, are poised for a narrow victory.
Our Prediction: SonderjyskE 2-1 Lyngby Boldklub
