Midtjylland vs Odense Prediction & Tips
With 62 points last season, Midtjylland saw the title slip through their fingers for a breath, with Copenhagen finishing on 63. This year, however, they are not about to let their chance slip through their fingers. Under Thomas Thomasberg, the Wolves have been showing their teeth since pre-season with 3 wins in 4 games: against Silkeborg (2-0), Dynamo Kiev (1-3) and Slovan Bratislava (1-4). Only Randers managed to break them down (2-3). Above all, Midtjylland have the home advantage that was one of their great strengths last year. The pitfall? Underestimating a promoted side with nothing to lose. But, with the anger of missing out on the title by a whisker, the Red and Blacks are determined to get off to a flying start!
2nd Division champions with 65 points, Odense have only had a short spell outside the top flight. This season, the watchword is clear: stay in the Superliga, and as high up the table as possible! Their preparations speak for themselves: 1 convincing win at Randers (0-2), 1 success against B.93 (3-0) and 1 draw against Aarhus (0-0). Despite 2 opening defeats to Esbjerg (1-2) and Sonderjyske (0-2), the club looks ready to fight. Against Midtjylland, Odense have no hang-ups, buoyed by a positive momentum and a desire to shine; enough to unsettle Midtjylland?
