Denmark – ranked 22nd in Europe, or the strongest of the weakest. Brøndby IF, B 1909, and Kolding IF won promotions from Second Division. Four outsiders and four teams competing for the title in the First Division.
Viborg FF was last with 15 points.
Herfolge BK with 18 points was 15th. The last two had no chance, obviously weaker than the rest of the league.
With 23 points Kastrup Boldclub was unlucky – they ended in the relegation zone because of worse goal-difference. Those three teams were relegated.
B 1903 escaped relegation thanks to better goal-difference, but they were also outsiders this year and happy just to survive. Lucky 13th.
Not much happening up to 5th place – Vejle was 9th, but Danish football had no big favourites and ups and downs were too common to be really surprised. Hvidovre, Lyngby, Naestved, and AGF fought for the title this year. Perhaps only Naestved was a bit of a surprise. 2 points decided final places.
AGF ended 4th with 38 points, but worse goal-difference denied them medals. Still, well done.
Naestved IF finished with bronze medals, yet, may be a bit disappointed – Denmark had only a single UEFA Cup spot, so Naestved was unable to play in Europe.
Lyngby BK clinched 2nd place – and UEFA Cup participation – with 39 points. Perhaps, with mixed feelings – they prevailed over Naestved and AGF, but they also lost the title by a single point.
Hvidovre IF were the new champions with 40 points from 15 wins, 10 ties, and 5 losses. They had by far the best defensive record in the league, allowing only 25 goals in 30 matches – the next best defense was AGF’s with 33 goals in their net. Attack was not the strongest point of the winners – they scored only 42 goals: 9 clubs outscored them, the record belonging to KB – 62 goals. It was cautious approach – play not to lose, get a point here, a point there, win when possible, but without risking much – earning them the title. Nothing spectacular, rather hard work and may be a bit of luck, but champions they were and that was the only important thing. It was their 3rd title and first since 1973.
