Viborg so high by now has become normality, but København so low?...

Like Danimal said, the top two teams are expected but the third challenger is already off the pace. Dropping any points in the league this season will feel like a big loss with how close last season went.

True, both. However, it's just 5 points and too early to conclude anything. But obviously it's a rocky start for the club with the biggest budget in Scandinavia.

They do have an ageing squad though! I mentioned it a while ago in a previous post how they had a lot of +33 year old players in the squad. If they don't manage to evolve and replace these players along the way, they will hit a full stop at some point. I don't know if that is what's happening to them right now, but it could be an explanation.

A bit like Ajax in real life. The quality of the current batch from Ajax Academy is either low or late. But the Ajax starting eleven are unusually old: Pasveer (41), Henderson (34), Berghuis (33), Weghorst (32), Klaassen (31), Rugani (30). And not all positions are adequately filled, not with a middle aged quality player, nor a hot upcoming prospect. Add to the mix that Rensch, Taylor and Brobbey are likely to depart and it'll be a big question mark what Ajax will look like for the 2025-26 season...
