Brøndby-OB

Sunday 15/3 19.00

Brøndby (5th) are not the luckiest team at the moment. They play some fine matches, but keep on losing. This should start to affect them mentally. Add to this that they still struggle with consistency in the line-up due to injuries and suspensions. Central defender Dario Dumic and striker Johan Elmander are suspended for this match, while central defender Daniel Agger is doubtful after leaving the last match after feeling bad. Positive is the return of midfielders Thomas Kahlenberg and Christian Nørgaard from suspension. Nevertheless, it is concerning that Brøndby cannot field the same eleven every weekend, and that the defence is so affected by absences, which leaves it vulnerable. Brøndby will try to find strength in the great home support they get. OB (9th) are starting to get something out of the fine team they have. After a terrible start, they have now won five out of the last eight matches. It is a team with good energy and a positive mood at the moment. The suspension of midfielder Martin Spelmann is not the best preparation for a match against Brøndby, where his passion will be missed. OB could benefit from the return of striker Thomas Dalgaard.

Brøndby will probably push forward from the start using the great support from the home fans. If OB can weather the initial storm, the match could be quite open. Brøndby lack some goalscoring quality in front, and therefore we won’t give them more than 50% chance of winning here.

Idea: 2 (AH +0.5) – 2.025 at Bet365

UPDATE: Agger is out for Brøndby. He is a very vital player.
