- Key Forward: German Onugkha
- Midfield Trio: Hamza Barry, Lundrim Hetemi, Kristian Kirkegaard
- Defensive Setup: Four at the back with Colina and Gundelund providing width
- Key Players in Defence: Damian van Bruggen and Stefan Velkov
Vejle Boldklub set up in a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on a balanced approach between attack and defence. German Onugkha, the team’s top scorer, leads the line, supported by Dimitrios Emmanouilidis and Christian Gammelgaard.
The midfield trio of Barry, Hetemi, and Kirkegaard aims to control possession and create opportunities while offering a defensive shield. Defenders van Bruggen and Velkov are crucial in maintaining stability at the back.
Given Lyngby’s scoring struggles, Vejle might focus on a high pressing game to exploit their opponent’s defensive lapses. Expect them to be particularly aggressive in the 61-75 minute interval, where they often push for key goals.

Recent Form: DWDLD
Lyngby’s recent form has been mixed, with one win, three draws, and one loss in their last five matches. They have managed to score an average of 1.00 goals per game during this period, while keeping two clean sheets. However, they have also struggled to secure victories, showing some vulnerability in their defence.
Their resilience will be tested against Vejle Boldklub, who have historically posed problems for them. Despite these challenges, the team remains in fourth position with 24 points and will be looking to capitalize on any opportunity to climb higher.
Lyngby Key Players
Expected lineup for Lyngby:
- Goalkeeper: Jonathan Aegidius
- Defenders: Oskar Buur, Baptiste Rolland, Rasmus Thelander, Adam Andersson, Leon Klassen
- Midfielders: Saevar Atli Magnusson, Peter Langhoff, Casper Winther, Lauge Sandgrav
- Forward: Jesper Cornelius
Saevar Atli Magnusson stands out as Lyngby’s top scorer with 2 goals this season and will be pivotal in midfield battles. His ability to create opportunities and link up play will be crucial against Vejle Boldklub’s defence.
Jonathan Aegidius, fresh from two clean sheets in five games, will aim to keep Vejle’s forwards, particularly German Onugkha, at bay. These key individual battles will be essential in determining the match outcome.
Lyngby Suspensions & Injuries
Lyngby face several setbacks due to suspensions and injuries.
| Player | Suspension | Expected return |
|---|---|---|
| Mathias Hebo Rasmussen | Yellow cards | 1 match |
| Magnus Jensen | Yellow cards | 1 match |
| Lucas Lissens | Yellow cards | 1 match |
| Player | Injury | Expected return |
|---|---|---|
| Brian Hamalainen | Unknown | Doubtful |
The absence of Mathias Hebo Rasmussen, Magnus Jensen, and Lucas Lissens due to yellow card suspensions might weaken their midfield and defensive solidity, putting extra pressure on the remaining squad members. With Brian Hamalainen’s status doubtful, their defensive options could be further limited. Morten Karlsen will need to strategize effectively to compensate for these key players’ unavailability.
Lyngby Tactics and Formation
Lyngby’s Tactical Breakdown:
- Formation: 4-5-1
- Key Forward: Jesper Cornelius
- Midfield Presence: Saevar Atli Magnusson, Peter Langhoff, Casper Winther
- Defensive Adaptation: Central defense bolstered by Rasmus Thelander and Baptiste Rolland
Due to multiple suspensions, Lyngby might pivot to a more conservative strategy, relying on their midfield to control possession and protect the defense.
Without Mathias Hebo Rasmussen, Magnus Jensen, and Lucas Lissens, coach Morten Karlsen will focus on solidifying the midfield with Magnusson’s creativity and Winther’s work rate.
The lone striker setup will task Cornelius with capitalizing on counter-attacks, supported by quick transitions from the flanks. Defensively, maintaining a compact shape will be crucial to withstand Vejle Boldklub’s home advantage.
