Midtjylland take on the visitors Sonderjyske in the round 2 match of Danish Superliga. The match will be played on Monday, July 28th at MCH Arena (Herning).
Midtjylland are clearly aiming to reclaim their spot at the top. The Wolves were only founded at the turn of the century, but they quickly proved themselves to be an ambitious project. Their first league title came in 2015, and since then they’ve added four more championships — including one just two seasons ago. Last season, they dominated the regular stage and looked set to defend their title, finishing well ahead of Copenhagen. But in the championship round, they faltered, finishing one point behind their rivals in a painful collapse. Thomasberg kept his job but now faces renewed pressure to deliver silverware. They opened the new campaign with an entertaining 3-3 draw against Odense, and midweek played out a 1-1 draw with Hibernian in the Europa League. Fatigue could be a slight concern, but their offensive firepower remains undeniable.

Sønderjyske are even younger than their upcoming opponents — founded in 2004 — but they did manage to win the Danish Cup once, which remains their only major trophy. They’ve qualified for European competition twice, but both campaigns ended quickly. In recent years, they’ve struggled with consistency, and their top-flight status has been far from secure. They only returned to the Superliga ahead of last season and spent most of the campaign near the bottom. However, a strong finish allowed them to leapfrog Lyngby, Vejle, and a shockingly poor Aalborg side, creating a safe gap by the final matchdays. They resumed play with a 1-1 home draw against AGF, showing resilience but little cutting edge.
The Tigers had won three consecutive official meetings prior to their last clash. But in October last year, SønderjyskE pulled off a home win in the most recent encounter. The vice-champions are overdue for a win — and they’re unlikely to slip up against a weaker opponent at home. We’re backing Midtjylland to cover the -1.0 handicap with confidence.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win with -1.0 handicap.
