Match preview

Viborg ran out emphatic 4-1 winners over Aalborg in Saturday's friendly encounter at the Aalborg Kunstgaesbane.

Two goals from Renato Junior either side of Oliver Ross's penalty put Jakob Poulsen's men in the driving seat at half time after which an Anoiske Ementa double in the second half sealed the deal.

Since losing their first warm-up fixture to Norwegian side Haugesund, the Greens have won the subsequent three by a combined score of 9-2.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit with little to choose between the sides over the last six meetings which have yielded two wins apiece and two draws.

Currently on a run of three wins from their last four home matches leading up to this one, Sunday's hosts now go in search of a winning start to the new season in front of their fans to help set the tone.

Brondby were on the receiving end of a 4-0 mauling against Dynamo Kyiv in Sunday's meeting at the Kaiserwinkl Arena.

Denys Popov struck early on in the first half to leave Jesper Sorensen's men behind at half time after which second-half goals from Anton Tsarenko, Olexander Andriyevski and Oleksandr Pikhalyonok sealed the deal.

Consequently, the Boys from Vestegnen have now won just one of their most recent five matches dating back to last season's finale against Aarhus.

With the first leg of their Conference League qualifier against KF Llapi to follow this weekend's involvement, Sunday's visitors will be keen to pick up a morale-boosting result heading into their continental commitment.

Team News

Brondby's Frederik Alves is still nursing a knee problem which has seen him fail to feature since early February.

New arrival Patrick Pentz still awaits his debut for the away side and could finally make his bow here off the back of representing Austria at the recently-concluded Euros.

Renato Junior was Viborg's top scorer over the course of their pre-season matches, and the forward is expected to lead the line in this one.

Twenty-three-year-old Serginho was hauled off with an injury scare last time out, making his involvement for this weekend's visitors doubtful.

Viborg FF possible starting lineup:
Pedersen; Bundgaard, Burgy, Zaletel, Anyembe; Gronning, Westergaard, Jacobs; Vester, Said, Junior

Brondby possible starting lineup:
Schmid; Heggheim, Tshiembe, Sondergaard; Greve, Cappis, Nartey, Larsen; Kowalczyk, Omoijuanfo, Yeboah

We say: Viborg FF 1-1 Brondby

Victorious in the last two editions of this fixture, Brondby have a slight psychological edge heading into this one, but their form has been underwhelming to say the least. We can see the teams cancelling each other out to settle for a point apiece in the end.
