Brondby IF vs Sønderjyske Fodbold prediction 23.02.2026 | Superliga

Third place with two games left in the regular phase does look like progress. Last season ended with a sixth place finish, and that felt flat around the Western Outskirts. Still, the gap to the bottom half is only four points. One bad week and things tighten quickly.

Steve Cooper’s side are also wobbling a little. No win in five league matches. Four defeats in that stretch, and no goals in the last two. At Brøndby Stadium, just one win from the last four is not exactly fortress form.

Up front, Mads Frøkjær-Jensen is still waiting for his first goal since arriving from Preston. You sense he is snatching at chances. Ousmane Sow and Emmanuel Dennis should support him again. Mats Köhlert remains out with a calf issue, and Filip Bundgaard’s ankle problem keeps him sidelined too.

Avoiding relegation after promotion last season was handled calmly by the blau weiß. An eleventh place finish in the first phase laid a decent base.

Now Thomas Nørgaard’s side sit fourth and look more settled. Only one defeat in the last seven competitive matches says something about resilience.

Four wins in that spell did not happen by accident. Two victories from the last three away games show growing confidence on the road.

Lirim Qamili’s penalty winner against Silkeborg took him to five goals this season, and he should continue on the left. Olti Hyseni changed the game from the bench last time, which may put Sefer Emini’s starting role under quiet pressure.
