Vejle should edge it on Sunday
Coaching and tactics
Claus Noergaard has introduced a more flexible style of play to Vejle since taking over on 1 January 2026, with his side adopting a variety of approaches, including 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and even systems with 3 at the back. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches, including a 2-0 away win over Koge yesterday in the 1st Division 2026/2027.
Key players
Vejle have a midfield-based gameplan that involves building up in a wide-based fashion and then playing off a compact mid-block, so they can smother sides that play on the counter like Hillerod. Tobias Bach, who is Vejle's danger man and has scored 2 goals in 2 games in the 1st Division 2026/2027, has netted 3 of their 9 goals in their last 5 games, while Magnus Munck, who has found the net once in the 2 games so far, is his opposite number for Hillerod.
Bragging rights are at stake at Vejle Stadion
Hillerod have also had a mixed bag start to the 1st Division 2026/2027 season, sitting 11th on 0 points from 2 games, while Vejle are 3rd on 4 points from 2 matches. The bragging rights will be at stake at Vejle Stadion on Sunday for this 1st Division 2026/2027 meeting, which Hillerod won 3-2 as the away side three years ago.
Christian Loenstrup has done a solid job since he took over on 1 January 2021, and has created a more modern-day type of side that plays on the break and plays their best football when they can attack the corners. They have lost 4 of their last 5 and 4 in a row, with their most recent defeat being a 3-2 home loss against Esbjerg F.B. in the 1st Division 2026/2027.
Hillerod are in for a fight
Vejle are a much better side than their away record suggests and they have been undefeated in their last 3 at home, while Hillerod have been useless on the road.
- The 1.58 odds make Vejle a massive favorite, with Hillerod an enormous 5.37 and the draw 3.8, but we like the home side to nick this.
- The 1st Division 2026/2027 is often won by teams who can sit deep and then break teams off at the right moments, so if Vejle can keep the game controlled, they should edge this one with under 3.5 total goals.
- The pressing Hillerod side will try to turn the game on its head, however, so we predict the midfield battle and full-back duels could be explosive.
