Lyngby Boldklub and Aarhus will continue their respective Danish Superliga campaigns with a clash at Lyngby Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Match preview

Lyngby were involved in a five-goal thriller with Copenhagen in their first match of the new season, and they actually led 2-1 at the interval of the contest, only to lose 3-2.

The Royal Blues, who are joint-managed by Andreas Bjelland and Mikkel Jespersen, will now be bidding to bounce back in their first home fixture of the 2026-27 campaign.

Lyngby secured promotion back to the top flight courtesy of their title win in the Danish first division last term, securing a return after one season out of the Superliga.

The Vikings have actually won the Danish championship on two previous occasions, with their last success coming in 1991-92, while they were third as recent as 2016-17.

Aarhus, meanwhile, will enter this match off the back of a 4-1 victory over Lech Poznan in the second leg of their second qualifying round clash in the Champions League.

Incredibly, Aarhus had lost the first leg 4-1 at home, so it ultimately went to penalties, with the Danish outfit winning 4-3 in the shootout to secure a spot in the next round versus Sabah Baku.

Jakob Poulsen's side opened their Danish Superliga campaign with a 1-1 draw against Brondby, coming from behind to earn a point on home soil.

AGF have won six Danish championships, and they are the reigning champions, with their success last term booking a spot in the Champions League second qualifying round.

Lyngby will be the fresher of the two teams entering this match, but Aarhus will certainly have been boosted by their incredible European comeback last time out.

We say: Lyngby Boldklub 1-2 Aarhus

This has the makings of an interesting match, especially with Aarhus entering the game off the back of a European contest. We are expecting it to be tight in terms of the scoreline, but the visitors should be able to navigate their way to all three points.
