Venue: Ewii Park (Odense).
Odense will kickoff the new Danish Superliga at home against Nordsjaelland on Monday night.
Odense have been struggling since 2011, their highest finish since then have been the 7th spot. Last term they finished 8th in the log and went through the relegation rounds to secure their stay.
OB haven’t had the best of pre-season, they were winless in their 3 friendlies, losing twice and drawn once. They hope to put those defeats behind them and Kickstart the season with a win.
Nordsjaelland had an improvement last term as they finished 5th which was better than the previous season. The improvement can be attributed to Marcus Ingvartsen who not only pushed his team but also won the Superliga Golden Boot with 23 goals.
Nordjaelland will hope to come good on their travels this season as they did last season. They lost just 3 out of their 12 away games and scored in 11 of the 12 games.
