The managers K. Nielsen and S. Højer are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the First Division league table.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Viborg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
