Lyngby preview: Hoping for a better season this time around
After struggling to keep their heads above water last season, which they've finished just four points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone, Lyngby's fans will hope for a less stressful season. The team certainly have quality to avoid relegation, but will they be able to do it confidently or not, it remains to be seen.
When it comes to team news, Lyngby might be without Magnus Jensen in the season opener since he's listed as doubtful with an injury.
Predicted lineup: Storch (GK), Gregor, Bjelland, Lissens, Storm, Roemer, Winther, Finnsson, Kumado, Gytkjae & Amon

Copenhagen preview: Looking to start the season strongly
Last season Copenhagen have kept themselves in the title race almost until the very end, but they couldn't get over the hump really and finished the season in third place. That still secured them a spot in Europe, although only in European Conference League, which isn't a competition Copenhagen were gunning for. Overall, it wasn't a truly bad season, but Copenhagen will want more this time around.
Meanwhile, Elias Jelert, Roony Bardghji, Elias Achouri, and William Clem are all out with injuries, while Noah Sahsah and Nicolai Boilesen are questionable.
Predicted Lineup: Trott (GK), Huescas, McKenna, Garananga, Vavro; Mattsson, Lerager, Claesson, Larsson, Oskarsson & Elyounoussi

Player to watch: Mohamed Elyounoussi
The experienced Moroccan international had a solid last season in Copenhagen and contributed with 10 goals and seven assists to his team ending the season in third place.
Will Elyounoussi score in the second half?
Six of the 10 goals that the Moroccan has scored in the Danish Superliga came in the second halves of respective matches. Will we see that happen again on Monday?
