The Superliga is about to kick off, and as the first round approaches, most teams are wrapping up their final preseason matches. While FC Nordsjælland is a regular contender in the Superliga, often finishing near the top, AaB has just been promoted back to the top division. It’s important to note that AaB is usually a Superliga team and has bounced back immediately after relegation.

Team Previews:

FC Nordsjælland:

FC Nordsjælland finished last season in 4th place in the Superliga. In their preseason, they have played two matches, resulting in a 3-2 win over Randers and a surprising 6-1 defeat to Alkmaar, a team they would usually expect to compete closely with.

AaB:

AaB finished last season in 2nd place in Denmark’s second tier, earning promotion. In their preseason, they drew 1-1 with Hobro and won 3-1 away against OB. This shows a fairly solid preparation period.

Betting Tip:

I have to go with a FC Nordsjælland victory in their home opener. They play on artificial turf, which gives them a significant advantage as the best team in Denmark on this surface. While AaB is a solid team, they have just spent a season playing at a different pace against weaker opponents. The last time these two teams met in Farum in 2022, FC Nordsjælland won 5-1. I am placing a 1-unit bet on FC Nordsjælland to win, considering we are 11 days away from the match and there are still some uncertainties regarding both teams.

Conclusion:

Given FC Nordsjælland’s home advantage on artificial turf and their superior quality, betting on a home win seems prudent. Despite the uncertainties due to the early stage of the season, the odds favor a FC Nordsjælland victory.
