The Danish side have many ups and downs in their performance lately, as their results show. Their last victory was recorded almost one month ago, over PFC Beroe Stara Zagora, a 1-0 that earned them qualification to the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n
Br\u00f8ndby IF eliminated AC Omonia with two draws. In the Danish Superliga they started with three back-to-back defeats and earned their first point last week, edging out a 3-3 draw against Randers FC in the last minute of the encounter through a spot kick by Ronnie Schwartz<\/strong>. The former player of EA Guingamp came off the bench in the 63rd minute and scored twice to decide the final result.<\/p>\n As witnessed in these seven games, the coach of PAOK\u2019s rival Thomas Frank<\/strong> is building his side on 7-8 starters and, depending on the rival, he makes changes in midfield and attacking positions, where Magnus Eriksson<\/strong>, Johan Elmander<\/strong>, Ronnie Schwartz<\/strong>, Andrew Hjulsager<\/strong>, Elba Rashani<\/strong> and Lebogang Phiri<\/strong> alternate in the initial line-up.<\/p>\n Dario Dumi\u0107<\/strong>, Johan Larsson<\/strong>, Riza Durmisi<\/strong> are steady in defencee, while Martin Albrechtsen<\/strong> has established himself as Daniel Agger\u2019s<\/strong> understudy now that the latter is sidelined with injury. Martin \u00d8rnskov<\/strong> and Frederik Holst<\/strong> start in midfield and Teemu Pukki<\/strong> in attack. Luk\u00e1\u0161 Hr\u00e1deck\u00fd<\/strong> was the undisputed starting goalkeeper but he got transferred to Eintracht Frankfurt. In order to fill the void, Br\u00f8ndby IF signed Mads Toppel<\/strong> from Odense BK, but he hasn\u2019t made his debut yet. In the encounter against Randers FC, also newcomer Frederik R\u00f8nnow<\/strong> got to defend the team\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n In the four league encounters, Johan Larsson<\/strong>, Lebogang Phiri<\/strong> and Teemu Pukki<\/strong> featured all 270 minutes, while Martin \u00d8rnskov<\/strong> and Elba Rashani<\/strong> started all games. On the contrary, the mighty Johan Elmander<\/strong> has played just for 72 minutes, as the coach of Br\u00f8ndby IF prefers to field him in European matches where his valuable experience counts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Sunday 16 August, Br\u00f8ndby IF play their last encounter before their trip to Thessaloniki.
