Aarhus take on the visitors Midtjylland in the round 1 match of Danish Superliga. The match will be played on Friday, July 19th at Ceres Park (Aarhus).
Aarhus left all their trophies in the last century, having been Danish champions five times (the last in 1986) and winning the national cup nine times (most recently in 1996). However, last season Uwe Rösler's team only managed to close the top 5 in the final table, a step down from the previous year's bronze. Of course, they want to improve, and it's notable that their most high-profile signing, Henrik Dalsgaard, joined from Midtjylland. Dalsgaard has significant experience playing in Belgium and England. It's worth noting that their summer results have been good, mostly winning, although these have been friendly matches.

Midtjylland plans to stay at the top of Danish football. The Wolves became champions last season. That season and especially its conclusion will be remembered for a long time: the crisis of Copenhagen made the title vacant, and Brøndby, which finally came to life, had to compete for it. Brøndby led until the last round, in which they lost to... Aarhus in a dramatic home match that ended 2-3. So the pursuers, perhaps not particularly believing in their rival's potential slip, climbed to first place, even though they drew 3-3 with Silkeborg in the parallel match. But the main thing is that they have the title, the fourth in the club's short history. Notably, they found opportunities to strengthen the team over the summer, bringing back Askildsen from Sampdoria and spending 4 million each on Buksa and Castillo.
The Wolves have won four times in a row in the championship. They also managed to defeat their opponent 4-0 in the summer. The recent thrashing might not be repeated. But overall, the visitors are stronger and will confirm this again by winning on the field of a convenient opponent.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win.
