Danish journalist Toke Theilade, specialist of the Brondby club, has analysed in detail the future opponent of Strasbourg for the League Conference Dam. The interview revealed a team in the midst of a transition after the loss of several key players, but with a formidable counter-attack force, thanks to the midfielder Daniel Wass and his technical talent. Brondby prefers a game based on possession, but is more prominent when he can exploit the speed of his attackers in counter-attack. Despite a season of progress, the team suffered from a lack of depth of strength and accumulated fatigue due to a busy schedule.
The Brondby team, which currently occupies the first place ex-aequo in the Danish championship, is perceived as a team unknown to the general public but experienced in European competitions. Coach Frederik Birk is under pressure despite a recent successful return against Reykjavik, with supporters expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of progress in the game. The team has strengthened its centre capabilities with the new recruit Mats Kรถhlert, and its stadium, Brรธndby Stadion, is excited for the European matches. However, Brondby has a disastrous record in Europe outside, with 14 consecutive games without victory.
Expectations about Strasbourg are low in Denmark, with Ligue 1 not being very publicised. Despite this, the team is aware of the historical links between the two clubs and the reputation of Strasbourg as a talent incubator. The Danish supporters, although not confident about a qualification, are enthusiastic about the idea of this European trip, and the section reserved for visitors was quickly exhausted. Brondby aims to qualify for the league phase and a good performance in the national cup, while being in full reconstruction after a summer of significant sales. Racing has recently strengthened its strength with the arrival of the midfielder Rafael Luis, a player who could find playing time under the direction of Filipe Coelho, a man he knows from young people in Benfica.
