The new year in Danish football opens with a local showdown in Nørreskoven as FC Fredericia visit Vejle Boldklub on Monday to start the spring phase of the 3F Superliga.
FC Fredericia come into the match after a week-long camp in Turkey and seven unbeaten friendlies, a platform for a decisive half-season as they fight to remain in the top division. Vejle are a direct rival in the table and sit below Fredericia ahead of kickoff, adding weight to the meeting.
Team Preparations and Performance
Fredericia’s preparations featured training and matches against Superliga and First Division teams, plus two Ukrainian opponents during the Turkey camp, providing useful answers before the restart. This extensive preparation is crucial as they aim to solidify their position in the league.
On the other hand, Vejle prepared in Cyprus, where they faced Armenian and Bulgarian teams and recorded one defeat and one draw. Back in Denmark, they managed to beat B.93 and drew with Viborg, leaving them with mixed preseason results. Vejle will be looking to turn these results into momentum as they face a crucial match against their rivals.
Both sides ended 2025 on a high against Brøndby IF: Vejle closed the autumn schedule with a win, and Fredericia also beat Brøndby near the end of the year. This positive finish to the previous season may provide both teams with the confidence needed to start the new year strong.
Their first league encounter this season finished 1-1 in heavy rain at Monjasa Park, reflecting how closely matched the teams have been. As they prepare for this next clash, both teams will be eager to secure a victory that can set the tone for the rest of the season in the competitive landscape of the 3F Superliga.
With the stakes high and both teams well-prepared, fans can expect an exciting match that could have significant implications for the standings.
