Brøndby-Hobro preview

Sunday 2/8 18.00

Brøndby (10th) have had a terrible start with two losses in two matches they were expected to win. They were fairly poor in the first match against AGF, but they showed promising things against OB, where they only lacked some efficiency. Brøndby could get some efficiency with the signing of striker Ronnie Schwartz from Guingamp, although he will probably need a few matches to be at his best. Brøndby will be without talismanic defender Daniel Agger for the next four to six weeks. Brøndby will play Europa League against Omonia Nicosia before and after this match. Hobro (11th) have lost several profiles and they are suffering from it at the moment. It is especially in attack, where the goals of Mads Hvilsom (16 last season) and the disturbing effect of the speedy Quincy Antipas (injured) are dearly missed. Hobro have not scored so far and what is worse is that the lack of offensive quality is putting extra pressure on a defence that is not among the strongest in the league.

Hobro managed to beat Brøndby three times last season and therefore odds 8.50 for an away win should be a gift. However, Hobro are not the same team as last season and it will be very difficult to repeat the terrific performance. They will probably struggle in front of goal again, and we expect it to be more likely that they won’t score here.

Idea: Hobro under 0.5 goals – 1.95 at Betfair Sportsbook
