Correct score prediction: Vejle 2-3 Odense
Odense have had an impressive campaign so far, holding their own against Midtjylland on the road before beating Viborg at home. As things stand, Alexander Zorniger’s troops have no losses in their last five games.
On the other hand, Vejle are still hunting for their first win of the season, as they have earned only one point from a possible six. They have struggled to find their best form in recent weeks, winning only one of their last seven matches across all competitions.
Despite being a newly promoted side, we are leaning towards Odense for the win.

- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

Vejle preview: Eyeing their first win
Vejle began the league season with a 1-1 draw against Randers at home before losing 2-0 to reigning champions Copenhagen last Saturday.
Searching for their first win of the campaign, the Reds could have summer signing Bismark Edjeodji unavailable for this clash, as the Ghanaian sustained a 68th-minute injury in the loss to Copenhagen last weekend.
Abdoulaye Camara started as a substitute in back-to-back games for Vejle and was the scorer of their only league goal after two games. Considering Edjeodji’s possible absence, Camara will likely earn his first start of the season on Friday.
Predicted lineup: Vekic (GK), Gundelund, Velkov, Nielsen, Sorensen, Hjulsager, Vestergaard, Lauritsen, Gammelgaard, Camara & Duelund.

Odense Boldklub preview: Looking to extend their unbeaten run
Newly promoted Odense Boldklub seem to be punching above their weight in the early stages of the league season, earning an impressive draw against Midtjylland in their first match of the campaign before beating Viborg 3-1 last Sunday to go fourth in the table.
Having netted six goals in just two games, OB are brimming with confidence as they face a Vejle side with just one goal to their name so far this season. However, Max Ejdum is an injury doubt for this clash, as the 20-year-old midfielder failed to turn up for second-half action against Viborg because of a knock.
Coach Zorniger will likely keep faith in the starting XI from last Sunday, except that Gustav Grubbe could replace Ejdum, who faces a race to be fit ahead of this clash.
Predicted lineup: Hansen (GK), Gomez, Paulsen, Burgy, McCoy, Jensen, Grubbe, Owusu, Arp, Ganaus & Grot.

Player to watch: Noah Ganaus
Noah Ganaus has scored in three of four appearances since he joined Odense from Jahn Regensburg a month ago. The German forward has found the net in two of two league assignments and will look to extend that run on Friday night.
