Aalborg vs Lyngby Prediction 13.09.2024 | Denmark - Superliga

• Competition: Denmark - Superliga
• Date: Friday, 13th, September 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19.00 CEST
• Venue: Aalborg Portland Park (Aalborg)

The Friday clash at Aalborg Portland Park features two struggling sides as Aalborg takes on Lyngby in week eight of the Danish Superliga.

After being relegated from the Danish top flight in the 2022-23 season following a long 37-year run, Aalborg wasted no time and, after just one year, reclaimed their elite status, despite finishing as runners-up in the 1st Division last season. Regrettably, De Rode’s comeback to the Super League offers little cause for hope, as they have only secured a scant six points out of 18 in their first six league games, and only three teams have garnered fewer points than them up to now.

One of the teams that have shown poorer football than Aalborg is Lyngby, who are enduring a turbulent start to the 2024-25 campaign with only five points on the board, signaling that the former two-time Danish champions will focus primarily on maintaining their top-flight status. However, it is fair to note that De kongebla have faced an exceptionally tough schedule in the early weeks of the season, as four of their first seven matches have been against the top four teams from last term, namely Midtjylland, Brondby, FC Copenhagen, and Nordsjaelland.

Aalborg vs Lyngby Betting Tips: BTTS

Neither team instills confidence ahead of Friday’s contest, but we believe that goals at both ends are likely, as both sides will aggressively chase the three crucial points they need to pull themselves out of their rut. The team under Menno van Dam are entering this match in disarray, having lost three league matches in a row to Brondby, Aarhus, and Randers with a dreadful 0-9 goal difference. The defense has been a major headache for De Rode up until now, as they are the worst in that area among all 10 teams in the division, having conceded 17 goals and failed to keep a single clean sheet across their first seven matches. 

Just four days after posting their first Superliga victory by defeating the bottom-placed Vejle 1-0, Lyngby's defense suffered a collapse in the Landspokal Cup as they fell to a 1-4 defeat against 3rd-tier side Frem. Although they haven’t conceded as much as the Friday hosts, De Kongebla also lacks defensive solidity, with only one shutout in their first eight competitive matches. With both sides entering with an equal chance of getting three points, combined with their defensive shortcomings, we remain firmly convinced that both the red and blue teams will find their way to the goal while chasing vital threes.
