Midtjylland — Vejle : Match Preview and Prediction for October 19,2025

Midtjylland’s Recent Form and Coaching Change

Under somewhat unexpected circumstances, Midtjylland replaced coach Thomas Thomasberg just a month ago during the September international break. This occurred despite the team being on a six-game winning streak, having just defeated Brøndby 3-1. Nevertheless, the management decided that ‘the team was not progressing under Thomasberg,’ leading to Mike Tullberg’s appointment.

Tullberg’s Impact and Team Performance

Tullberg’s tenure began with a 0-1 loss to Nordsjælland in the , but credit is due as he quickly steered his squad back to winning ways. The Red-Blacks subsequently secured five consecutive victories, including two in the Europa League against Nottingham (3-2) and Sturm (2-0), and two in the league (2-0 vs. Viborg, 2-1 vs. Randers). They also managed to snatch a point from Copenhagen away (1-1) and achieved a cup success against Aalborg away (3-0). Under Tullberg, aside from the initial game, the hosts have scored in every match. Naturally, after the international break, playing at home against Vejle – the league’s second-placed team (four points behind Aarhus) – they will be pushing for a win. For the match against Vejle, the home side will be without Ejedeheri and Brumado Junior.

Vejle’s Struggles and Coaching Change

Vejle is a significantly more modest team, currently sitting firmly at the bottom of the league table with just one victory after 11 first-round matches (or 11 rounds). Unsurprisingly, these results led to a coaching change for the visitors. Croatian Ivan Prelec replaced local specialist Bertelsen, but so far, he hasn’t managed to improve the team’s performance. We will, however, observe his impact over a longer period.

Upcoming Challenges and Player Absences

Before the break, Vejle lost at home to Nordsjælland, a team that is gaining momentum as the season progresses (0-3). Now, they face a challenging away fixture against the league’s second-placed team. Moreover, the personnel situation for the visitors leaves much to be desired. For the match against Midtjylland, they will be without Hetemi, Jacobsen, Nielsen, van Bruggen, and Velkov – significant absences for such a modest squad.
