Brøndby-Viborg

Sunday 20/10 17.00

Brøndby (9th) have been on a recent hot streak with ten points in four matches. They could be a challenger for European spots with the effort and quality they have put into it lately. These ambitions suffered a blow however with the recent information that striker Simon Makienok is injured for a month. The high and strong Makienok is the main force of Brøndby with six goals scored (40% of team goals). Without him Kenneth Zohore is next in line and he is a player of almost same quality and stature. The problem is that he is struggling with a hip injury and therefore doubtful for this match. If Zohore is unfit, Brøndby are either forced to make some adjustments within the current squad, for example by moving Antipas on top with Hasani just behind him, or use discarded strikers like Bernburg or Akpoveta. Nevertheless, if Zohore is not fit, it is a clear disadvantage for the offensive possibilities of the home side. Media attention will probably by faced at new signing Khalid Bouhlarouz, the Dutch cannibal, but we do not think his eventual appearance will have much influence on the result. Viborg (4th) have been poor recently (also when winning). The manager has probably noted this since Viborg surprised by signing two new players Monday, midfielder Figueiredo and striker Grella. Especially the former is deemed good chances to impress. These players are jokers since their current level is unknown to the opponents (and us). Viborg are still without the injured couple of Lerager and Egeris.

It is a difficult match for a better. Much depends on the solution Brøndby choose in order to replace Makienok. If the solution is one of the discarded players we believe that Viborg will stand a good chance. Therefore we propose Viborg with handicap as a possible bet, but we urge you to think twice.
