Determined Brondby Can Grind Out Away Points

Aarhus have made plenty of squad changes this season, but the return of veteran left-back Jesper Kjaergaard should help strengthen the defence. Loan wing-back Castensen has now joined permanently on a long-term deal and is expected to be a key figure in their push for results. Key midfielder Nicolai Poulsen is still troubled by a hamstring tendon issue, but he has stressed that he will still play through the injury in a bid to help the team.

Brondby also reshaped their squad significantly over the summer. Veteran striker Patrick Mortensen has returned and could have a major impact, with this match seeing him face Aarhus, though he is expected to start on the bench. Young midfielder Max Ejdum, signed from Odense, could start and add energy in the middle of the park. New head coach Rogaard officially took charge this summer, and this will be his first league game in charge. Defender Louis Binks has also been appointed the club's new captain and is seen as a reliable leader.

Aarhus have no reported injuries or suspensions. Brondby also have no reported injuries or suspensions.

Aarhus reclaimed the league title last season, but the many off-season personnel changes could affect their strength. Their pre-season form was inconsistent, and despite home advantage, this does not look like an easy game for them.

Brondby are one of Denmark's traditional Superliga powers, though results in recent years have been fairly ordinary. They have changed manager this summer in search of improvement and have also strengthened the squad. Their form in friendlies was decent, and with enough determination here, they are unlikely to take risks away from home. If they stay disciplined defensively, they have a good chance of taking points.

In the last four meetings between the sides, Aarhus have won two and drawn two. They won the most recent meeting 2-0, and there were nine corners in that match.
