The 2021/22 Danish Superliga continues this weekend as we enter the second round of fixtures this season. The final match to be played is between SønderjyskE and Vejle BK at Sydbank Park with both teams searching for their first victory of the season.
SønderjyskE begin the weekend in 9th place with one point while Vejle BK are bottom of the table without a point to their name.
SønderjyskE come into the match having picked up a point in their opening game of the season thanks to a 0-0 draw at Silkeborg. Continuing from last season, that result means SønderjyskE are undefeated in 7 of their last 9 Danish league fixtures.
They have won 3 of their last 4 home Danish Superliga matches, beating Vejle BK, OB, and Lyngby without conceding a goal but suffered a disappointing 4-0 loss at the hands of AaB in their final home game last season.
SønderjyskE do not have a great recent home record in the Danish Superliga and they have won only 4 of their last 10 league games at Sydbank Park. However, they have found the back of the net in 7 of their last 8 home league matches but are inconsistent in defence, keeping clean sheets but also conceding 3 or 4 goals in single games.
Vejle BK started the new season with a 2-0 defeat at home against Randers. Having fallen behind in the 26th minute, Vejle BK conceded a second goal just 5 minutes later and failed to get back into the match.
It was a disappointing start to the season for a team who finished just one place above the relegation zone last time out.
The loss against Randers means Vejle BK have failed to win any of their last 4 league fixtures and they have been struggling to pick up victories away from home. Vejle BK have won only one of their last 8 away league matches and have lost 5 of those games.
Trends show Vejle BK have conceded 2 or more goals in all of their last 6 league matches and that includes each of their last 2 away Danish Superliga games.
Looking ahead to the team news and SønderjyskE have no fitness concerns ahead of this match. It will be interesting to see if they make any changes in attack having failed to score last weekend. Bard Finne and Rilwan Hassan will both be hoping to start.
Vejle BK will be without Saeid Ezatolahi, who is suspended for this game. Every other player should be available for selection.
SønderjyskE will see this as a good opportunity to pick up their first victory of the season. Vejle BK could make life tough for the hosts and score a goal but we expect to see SønderjyskE come out on top, with over 2.5 goals in the game.
