Vejle vs Nordsjaelland Match Analysis & Prediction
05/08/2024 8:00 pm
Looking to secure their first points of the 2024-25 campaign, lowly-ranked Vejle Boldklub will play host to FC Nordsjaelland at Vejle Stadion for a Danish Superliga encounter on Monday night.
After coming out on the wrong side of a five-goal thriller with Randers on the opening weekend, Vejle travelled to Brondby with points at stake last Monday, when goals from Mathias Kvistgaarden and Sebastian Sebulonsen secure maximum points for the hosts.
Heading into their first game of August, Velje are currently occupying bottom place in the Danish Superliga standings, with the Reds the only side in the 12-team division yet to secure any points in 2024-25.
Vejle’s danger man this season is undoubtedly Russian striker German Onugkha, who managed 15 goals in 31 Superliga appearances during 2023-24, with the Reds’ next top goalscorer only finding the net on three occasions in the league.
Meanwhile, after missing out on third place and subsequent qualification for the Conference League playoff by just a single point to Danish giants Copenhagen last season, Nordsjaelland are looking to go one better this term and reach the continental stage by this time next year.
Nordsjaelland are one of five sides yet to taste defeat in the top flight, with the Tigers collecting four points from their opening two matches, leaving them in fifth position, just two points behind early pacesetters Randers at the very summit of the standings.
It was a battle of the brace-scoring attackers during Nordsjaelland’s most recent game on July 27, when two from Conrad Harder were cancelled out by a double from Oliver Sorensen of Midtjylland to force both sides to settle for a share of the spoils.
Following the departure of Johannes Hoff Thorup to Championship outfit Norwich City, Nordsjaelland appointed Jens Fonsskov Olsen as their new head coach, with the 49-year-old now tasked with taking his side towards the club’s second-ever Superliga title.
Vejle vs. Nordsjaelland Head to head
In the previous 20 meetings between these two teams, Vejle have claimed four victories while Nordsjaelland have won 11, and they have drawn in five. Nordsjaelland have scored 33 goals and conceded 19 in the process.

Vejle Team News
Vejle remain without the services of Thomas Gundelund, who picked up an injury at the end of May and has failed to feature so far this summer.
As a result, Luka Hujber is set to start on the right flank for the Reds once again, despite a challenging start to the season as part of the hosts’ XI.

Nordsjaelland Team News
Despite goalscorer Harder stealing the headlines last time out, the likes of Marcus Ingvartsen and Oliver Antman are impressive massively and providing plenty of threat from the flanks.
After a gruelling pre-season schedule, it appears as if youngster Lucas Hey has cemented himself as a first-choice centre-back alongside captain Kian Hansen.
