6 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Viborg, who have the most scored goals (55) in First Division, have to build on here at Energi Viborg Arena in the First Division.
The home team returns to Energi Viborg Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Næstved (placed 11th) on their last time out; the First Division game ended 2-2. Before that, Viborg had a home game versus HB Køge which ended with a victory 4-2.

Nykøbing form and stats
Nykøbing have only collected 14 points from their away games in the First Division, after 3-5-6 (14 played).
Two away games in a row for Nykøbing, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Fremad Amager in the First Division. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Hvidovre.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Fremad Amager was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Nykøbing lost heavily in their last match (against Fremad Amager as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nykøbing have scored 20 goals in 14 league games away. The Nykøbing manager C. Jensen has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
