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

Midtjylland’s Recent Form and Coaching Change

Midtjylland recently underwent an unexpected coaching change, replacing Thomas Thomasberg just a month ago during the September international break. This decision came despite the team being on a six-game winning streak, including a dominant 3-1 victory over Brøndby. The management, however, felt that “the team wasn’t developing under Thomasberg,” leading to the appointment of Mike Tullberg.

Tullberg’s Immediate Impact and Upcoming Match

Tullberg’s tenure began with a 0-1 loss to Nordsjælland in the Superliga, but he quickly guided his squad back to winning ways. The “Red and Blacks” subsequently secured five consecutive victories: two in the Europa League against Nottingham (3-2) and Sturm (2-0), and two in the league against Viborg (2-0) and Randers (2-1). They also managed to snatch a point from Copenhagen away (1-1) and achieved a cup success against Aalborg away (3-0). Under Tullberg, apart from the initial match, Midtjylland has scored in every game. Naturally, after the international break, playing at home against Vejle – currently second in the league (four points behind Aarhus) – they will be aiming for a win. For this match against Vejle, the home side will be without Ejeheri and Brumado Júnior.

Vejle’s Struggles and Recent Coaching Change

Vejle is a far more modest team, currently sitting firmly at the bottom of the league table with only one victory after the first 11 rounds. Unsurprisingly, these poor results led to a coaching change for the visitors. Croatian specialist Ivan Prelec took over from local expert Bertelsen, but so far, he has not managed to improve the team’s performance. We will, however, need to observe his impact over a longer period.

Vejle’s Tough Schedule and Significant Absences

Before the break, Vejle lost at home to Nordsjælland, a team that has been gaining momentum throughout the season (0-3). Now, they face a challenging away trip to the league’s second-placed team. Furthermore, the squad situation for the visitors is far from ideal. Against Midtjylland, they will be without Hetemi, Jacobsen, Nielsen, van Bruggen, and Velkov – a considerable number of absences for such a modest team.
