Nordsjaelland preview: Can they start the season with a couple of wins?
While they were in the title race last season, Nordsjaelland have only finished fourth in the end, which certainly wasn't what they were hoping for. Meanwhile, Nordsjaelland have started the new season with a convincing 3-0 win over Aalborg, so they are high on confidence heading into this derby with Midtjylland.
Another positive for Nordsjaelland is their clean bill of health at the moment.

Midtjylland preview: Hoping for their first win of the season
After narrowly edging out Brondby for the title last season by one point, Midtjylland enter the new season as the defending champions. However, their first game wasn't a great once since they only managed to draw with Aarhus, the reigning Danish Cup winners, in the first round of Superliga.
When it comes to team news, Marrony and Gue-Sung Cho are out with injuries, while Ola Brynhildsen will also miss the match with an illness.
