Player to watch: Adam Buksa
The Polish forward has started the new season well with two goals in two Superliga matches for Midtjylland, along with one goal in the Champions League qualifiers, in the team's last match against Ferencvaros, so Buksa is our player to watch here.
Buksa to score the first goal?
While it is a small sample size, Buksa was the first goalscorer in two of the three games in which he has managed to score so far. Will that be the case against Vejle too?
