Nordsjaelland will kick off their 2024-25 Danish Superliga campaign by hosting Aalborg BK at Right to Dream Park on Friday. The Tigrene have a strong record in season openers, winning their last two matches. They will be aiming to continue this trend and start the new season on a positive note.
Nordsjaelland had a solid performance last season, finishing fourth in the standings and securing a spot in the Championship Round. They will be looking to build on this success and push for a return to European competitions. However, their final few games last season saw a dip in form, and they will be eager to start the new campaign on a high.
On the other hand, Aalborg BK secured immediate promotion to the Superliga after a strong campaign in the 1st Division last season. They will be looking to make an impact in their return to the top flight and will be hoping to start the season with a positive result against Nordsjaelland.
Nordsjaelland will be without veteran defender Erik Marxen due to injury, but otherwise, they have a full-strength squad available. Aalborg, on the other hand, have made some key signings in the summer transfer window to bolster their squad.
In terms of form, Nordsjaelland have been inconsistent in their recent matches, while Aalborg BK head into the game with some momentum after a decent pre-season. The last five meetings between the two sides have seen plenty of goals, and we can expect another entertaining clash on Friday.
Predicted lineups:
Nordsjaelland: Hansen; Ankersen, Tverskov, K Hansen, Villadsen; Svensson, Dorgeles; Egeli, Ingvartsen, M Hansen; Harder
Aalborg BK: Muller; Jorgensen, Kramer, Otoa; John; Caballo, Davidsen, Widell; Jasson, Ross, Jorgensen
Prediction: Nordsjaelland 3-1 Aalborg BK
Given Nordsjaelland’s strong home record and the attacking quality of both teams, we predict a high-scoring game with Nordsjaelland coming out on top. It should be an exciting match to kick off the new season in the Danish Superliga.
