Brondby vs Vejle Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Two sides who kicked off the season with a victory clash on Sunday, as Vejle aim to continue their strong start after promotion to the top flight. They face a tricky trip to a Brondby side who were runners-up in last season’s Superliga. Will they be able to go one better this time around and take the title? Can the visitors do enough to stay in the top flight this season? While it’s early days, we should know more about these two in the aftermath of Sunday’s encounter.

The visitors come here as outsiders, which isn’t surprising given that they lost three of their last four matches in their last stint in this division, back in 2009. Meanwhile, Brondby started off in solid fashion, winning 2-0 at Randers to kick off their new campaign on the right note. They head in to Sunday’s clash full of confidence, and they’re in good shape at the minute, with no European football to worry about for the next couple of weeks.

Brondby will be out to bounce back from a couple of slip ups in their last couple of home league games. Their five dropped points in clashes with AaB and Midtylland were the difference between first and second ultimately, so that’s something to correct. After conceding over a goal per game last season, the hosts will want to improve their defensive record, but will they be able to do that this week?

The visitors pulled off a 3-1 victory in their opening game to start the season with three points, and they’ll be aiming to take that scoring form in to this trip. Vejle had little trouble going forward on their way to promotion last season, hitting 1.4 goals per game and scoring in 82% of their away trips. With that in mind, we see them causing problems in this visit to Brondby, a side who have had a long running issue with clean sheets.

The hosts have conceded in 11 of their previous 12 home matches, and that is some form which the visitors can take full advantage of. Those defensive issues didn’t exactly hold Brondby back, as they conceded in 10 of their 14 home victories last season, and they finished up with the second best home record in the league; despite 67% of their matches seeing both teams score. We’re backing BTTS again here, but we’re also going for a Brondby win, given their fantastic form in front of their own fans. Given the price, we think Brondby and both teams to score is a great value bet, especially after the manner in which Vejle kicked off the season.
