After a thrilling end of the last championship in Denmark, the new season is about to begin, and Copenhagen can't let another season without being the protagonists. Two years with Brondby and Midtjylland competing for the gold medal with Copenhagen finishing 3rd it's just not enough for the most successful team in the Scandinavian nation. Their fierce rivals Brondby managed to get the revenge out of Midtjylland, clinching the title out of their hands in the last two rounds becoming Danish Champions for the 11th time in their history, only two times less than them (13 times), a record in Denmark. A new season is about to start, and they have the objective of winning the title and letting Midtjylland and Brondby behind. It will be a tough and long journey, and we hope for an entertaining season just like the last championship with drama until the end.
On the other hand, Aalborg finished 7th in the last season, winning a playoff ticket for the Uefa Conference League, but Aarhus defeated them with penalty kicks. Their objective will be the same this season, too: to play at European cups. Not easy, but it's a possible thing seeing the potential of the team. A home match for start and a win would do just fine for the home side to boost their morale and send immediate signals to the rivals that Copenhagen is there too and not underestimated. It will be a long journey!
Head to head matches
Forty-eight matches in total between the sides where Copenhagen got the best out of them in 27 cases, nine games ended in a draw, and 12 wins for Aalborg. It was clear to be Copenhagen the team with the best performance as it is the most known Danish club and the most successful one.
Injury updates
Immediately missing players in this early stage of the season. Aalborg will have to do without Andersen as he suffers from a knee injury and will be out for this important match. On the other side, Copenhagen will probably have to play without Bjelland as he is not sure yet to play or not as a result of a Foot injury and probably will be off too for the opening match.
Livestream, odds, and predictions
As a strong and a huge favorite team to win the title, Copenhagen will immediately show its strength. For this, Copenhagen should not drop points with random teams. New players who joined Copenhagen's squad this summer will try to make the difference in Danish Superliga. Aalborg's fans will have their eyes on their latest join, Milan Makaric. But will Makaric be able to adapt to his new team quickly? We have to wait and see his first performance with AaB.
