Brondby won the silver in the Danish Superliga with 81 points to their credit last season. The Boys from the Western Ouskirts have had five friendly matches this summer, won three of them, drew one and lost one too. In the third qualification round of the Europa League the team beat Spartak Subotica from Serbia (2-0 on their home field, 2-1 on the away field). In their last three matches Brondby lost to Esbjerg with a 0-1 score, beat Spartak Subotica with a 2-1 score and lost to Copenhagen with a 1-3 score.
Genk and Brondby have never faced each other before. The Blauw-Wit have been looking really strong of their home field lately and the Danish aide has been looking pretty weak on the away fields. The hosting side should get the win in front of their crowd in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
