Midtjylland take on the visitors Odense in the round 1 match of Danish Superliga. The match will be played on Sunday, July 20th at MCH Arena (Herning).
Midtjylland are determined to reclaim the title. The Wolves, in their current form, were founded only at the end of the last century. Their true rise began when majority investor Matthew Benham joined the project. In 2015, they captured their first Danish Superliga title, and since then, they’ve won it three more times — most recently just a year ago. Last spring, despite holding a four-point lead over Copenhagen heading into the championship round, they somehow let it slip and finished second by a single point. Now, the ambition is clear: reclaim top spot, especially with Thomasberg and his coaching staff staying on and the core squad largely intact. Midtjylland had a strong pre-season, winning three out of four friendlies and keeping two clean sheets, suggesting they’re ready to hit the ground running.

Odense have had more success in cup competitions — with five domestic cup titles, the most recent coming in 2007. However, they’ve often struggled to maintain top-tier status and have experienced several relegations in recent years. Last season, they spent a second consecutive year in the second division but managed to secure promotion by finishing first after a tight race. With promotion came a fresh start — former Brøndby boss Alexander Zorniger, who lifted the cup in 2018, took over in early July. The club has also been active in the transfer market, including a major signing in experienced midfielder Rasmus Falk, who returned after a long spell with Copenhagen. Still, results in pre-season have been shaky, including a heavy 1-4 loss to Silkeborg.
Odense last beat Midtjylland back in 2022. Since then, the Wolves have won four consecutive meetings. The home side are stronger in every department. Back Midtjylland to win with a -1.0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win with -1.0 handicap.
