Week 17 features a match on Monday Nov 29th, where Vejle hosts Midtjylland in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only -1 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 12th placed Vejle is fresh off their 1-4 loss against Randers. Alhaji Kamara struck first for Randers in the 37th minute, then Hallur Hansson tied it up for Vejle in the 45th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, Midtjylland recorded a 3-2 win against Sporting Braga. Erik Sviatchenko struck first for Midtjylland in the 2nd minute, then Ricardo Horta tied it up for Sporting Braga in the 43rd minute on a feed from Iuri Medeiros , but luckily for Midtjylland it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn the win. Midtjylland should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Friday Aug 6th, Midtjylland was victorious by a score of 4 to 1. Gustav Isaksen struck first for Midtjylland in the 35th minute on a feed from Joel Andersson, then Denis Kolinger tied it up for Vejle in the 51st minute on a feed from Dimitrios Emmanouilidis.
Midtjylland’s most prolific scorer has been Evander. The Brazilian midfielder has netted three goals over the last 5 matches. Vejle is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Lukas Engel and Alan Sousa each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
