Copenhagen vs Vejle prediction: Hosts all the way
Key stats
- Brondby are unbeaten in five straight games, including four club friendlies.
- The boys from Vestegnen are unbeaten in their last 15 home H2Hs.
- Silkeborg had a poor preseason, winning just one of their five friendlies.
- The visitors have won back-to-back away league games
Correct score prediction: Copenhagen 3-1 Vejle
Copenhagen opened their Superliga account with a 3-2 win over Viborg, with Magnus Mattsson’s late penalty sealing all three points for Jacob Neestrup’s men. The Danish top tier champions then followed that up with a 2-0 win over Drita in the UEFA Champions League second round qualifiers. Meanwhile, Vejle salvaged a point in stoppage time against Randers FC thanks to Abdoulaye Camara’s 97th minute strike. The visitors wouldn’t be as fatigued thanks to additional preparation time, unlike the hosts who played in midweek, but we nonetheless see Copenhagen’s quality proving too much for Vejle to handle.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Copenhagen the favourites
- HOME: 8/13 (1.61) – 62.1%
- DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.6%
- AWAY: 10/3 (4.33) – 23%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Copenhagen will be keen to secure antoher triumph enroute their title defense. With the home advantage, the hosts are priced as strong favourites – odds of 2/9 (1.22), indicating a 77.4% chance of victory.
Vejle narrowly escaped a defeat at home last time around, and this is nowhere close to a positive indication for bookies to back the visitors. The visitors carry 8/1 (9.00) odds, implying a minority 8.1% probability of emerging triumphant against a side they’ve lost to four times on the trot.

Player to watch: Magnus Mattsson
With MOTM performances in Copenhagen’s opening two matches across Superliga and UCL qualifiers, Mattsson will be brimming with confidence to make a difference against Vejle. The midfielder struck twice against Drita, while netting Copenhagen’s winning goal against Viborg on the opening league matchday.
