FC Nordsjaelland v AaB

FC Nordsjaelland vs AaB Preview

Nordsjaelland play host to Aalborg in the latter of the two opening games of this new Danish top flight season on Friday night when the two teams clash at the Right to Dream Park with the hosts looking to go at least one step better this time around, while Aalborg gained automatic promotion from 1. Division at the end of last season and the visitors will be keen to ensure this season is a campaign of stability.

Nordsjaelland have played one friendly prior to the start of this new Superliga season which saw the hosts register a 3-2 home win against Randers and with home advantage once again behind them here for this Friday night's opening fixture, Jens Olsen's side will be keen to make a positive start to this new campaign by picking up all three points.

Friday night's hosts finished in fourth place in both the regular season and also the Championship Round table, narrowly missing out on a Conference League qualifier spot as they ended up just one point behind third placed finishers, FC Copenhagen.

However, the hosts will head into this upcoming season opener having suffered just one defeat in their last 13 matches in the Danish Superliga, picking up eight wins in the process, so they will be confident they can make a good start here.

Aalborg claimed the runners-up spot in the 1.Division at the end of last season's campaign which ensured the visitors joined the 1.Division title winners, SonderjyskE, up into the Danish top flight for this new season.

The visitors will certainly be desperate to set the record straight this time around in the Superliga having suffered relegation at the end of the 2022/23 season which saw Aalborg finish bottom of the table, joining Horsens down into the domestic second tier.

Aalborg have played two pre-season games ahead of the start of this new Superliga season with the visitors drawing 1-1 away from home at Hobro which was then followed by a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Viborg and if this latest result is anything to go by, Aalborg look to have their work cut out on Friday night at the Right to Dream Park.

In addition, Aalborg have managed to capture just three wins from their last 11 games in all competitions which produced victories over Frederica, Kolding and Vendsyssel, but also includes being handed five defeats within this period as well which does not bode well for this upcoming trip.

Nordsjaelland v Aalborg Verdict
