White-red against red-white – no, it’s not about fries. That’s how it could be aptly formulated when the Polish national team meets Danish. In the match between the two country representatives Lechia Gdansk and Bröndby Copenhagen, however, not too much of these colors will be seen. You will notice at most white stripes on the jerseys of the Poles, who usually play in green. The club colors of Bröndby, however, are yellow and blue. No matter what, you should not expect a drab, colorless game. Instead, a lively game between the Polish Cup winner and the Danish Cup finalist suggests.
Lechia Gdansk vs Brondby Football Betting Tips
By name, the guests in both matches together are the favorite to progress. But Lechia Gdansk rises with the recommendation of a title in the young season in the second round of qualifying for the Europa League. Bröndby, however, showed after two strong appearances in the first two competitive games of this season last few negligence. For Lechia Gdansk it is only the second real appearance on the international stage, while the guests from the Danish capital regularly make their mischief in Europe. And yet, at least in the first leg between Lechia Gdansk and Bröndby a prediction for a tip on a winner is not easy to make.
Lechia Gdansk – Statistics & Current Form
2: 3 and 0: 7 – with these two results Lechia Gdansk was defeated in 1983 Juventus in the first round of the European Cup Winners’ Cup. Leaving out the performances in the rather insignificant UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1985, the Poles once again enter international territory on Thursday for the first time in 36 years. The start of the new season has been successful for the team from Gdansk. As reigning cup winner Lechia Gdansk played in mid-July the match for the Polish Supercup at champions Piast Gliwice and sat down there confidently with 3: 1 through. Six days later, Lechia Gdansk did not make a goalless draw on the opening day of the new season in Ekstraklasa, Poland, despite a goalless draw, but also lost more than half time.
Last season, Lechia Gdansk finished in third place, the team was particularly strong on offense and scored 54 goals in 37 league games. The biggest contributor with 15 goals was Flavio Paixao, who could also be kept in the club as the second-best scorer with seven goals Artur Sobiech, who is still known from his time at Hannover 96 or Darmstadt 98. The 2nd Bundesliga was once again an issue for Lechia Gdansk, because from there you got the only paid player. With the 30-year-old Mario Maloca of Greuther Fürth secured a seasoned defender, who should stabilize the defense on. Elsewhere, Lechia Gdansk mostly used in-country with free transfer players. With striker Konrad Michalak has an offensive force left the club in the direction of Russia, which flushed at least 1.5 million euro in the coffers. Really painful is the transfer given the fact that Michalak in the preseason in 22 league games only managed a single hit not really.
The other three ex-players who left the club without a transfer, were in the last season rather complementary players. The preparation with a defeat against Hapoel Be’er Sheva from Israel, the draw against the Polish amateur club Chojniczanka Chojnice and Olympiakos Piraeus, a 7-1 victory and another each against another Polish amateur was rather mixed. But the victory in the Supercup has given the Poles a boost. In the match between Lechia Gdansk and Bröndby the odds for the tip at home win are also slightly lower.

Bröndby – Statistics & Current Form
The fact that Bröndby is allowed to participate in qualifying for the Europa League is due to a victory on the last matchday of the preseason in the direct competitor Odense BK, with the edge-Copenhagen at the last moment and pushed only because of the better goal difference in fourth place. A week earlier, Brøndby had already gambled another opportunity on Europe, as the team from the Danish capital in the final of the national cup to FC Midtjylland on penalties defeated. Preparing for the new season was unsatisfactory with defeats to Lech Poznan and Union Berlin, a draw against Wisla Plock from Poland and a single victory against a Danish amateur club that was 3-0 down.
But in time for the new season Bröndby seemed to have caught again and won the first leg of the first round of qualifying for the Europa League against Inter Turku from Finland at home with 4: 1. Three days later, it was on the first day of the new season in the domestic Superleague a sovereign 3-0 win against newcomer Silkeborg. But then followed two away games in which Bröndby no longer shone. In the second leg in Turku defeated Bröndby 0-2 and was insofar lucky, as a 0-3, which was quite possible, would have meant the end. Last weekend, there was a heated duel at Randers FC, where Bröndby scored the second goal in added time to make it 2-1. But that was just the beginning. Two minutes later, Bröndby’s Paulus Arajuuri saw the red card and another hand’s turn later, there was still the goal to draw.
The success last season stood and fell with the form of Poland’s Kamil Wilczek, who scored 21 goals for his club. The next best scorer Brondby came to only six hits. The Pole could be held and otherwise kept Bröndby the team as far as possible together. The only real mentionable transfer was that of Tobias Börkeeiet, the Bröndby drove for 1.3 million euro in the capital. With the experience of just under 170 European Cup games, it’s hard to hint at a win in the game of Bröndby at Lechia Gdansk away to odds of almost 3.00. However, caution should be exercised in the first leg.
