Lyngby Boldklub and Odense Boldklub each made one change to their starting lineups ahead of their Superliga match on Sunday afternoon. The tactical adjustments from both teams were known before the 14:00 kickoff, with Lyngby still searching for their first win of the season.
Who started for Lyngby Boldklub?
Lyngby Boldklub's head coach chose to move Jens Jakob Thomasen to the bench and instead start with Oliver Højer. This was the only change from the match against AC Horsens. The full starting eleven for the Lyngby side was as follows: Diego Kochen in goal, with Oskar Buur, Mikkel Fischer, Munashe Garananga and Renzo Tytens in defence. The midfield consisted of Gustav Fraulo, Casper Winther and Lauge Sandgrav, while Oliver Højer, Isak Thorvaldsson and Simon Colyn formed the attack.
