The Viborg & Silkeborg managers L. Friis and K. Nielsen are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the First Division league table.

Insights:
  • Viborg have the fewest conceded goals (14) in First Division
  • Silkeborg have the most scored goals (53) in First Division

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has grass, which is not Silkeborg's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Silkeborg have performed like this: Played 40 matches resulting in 16 wins, 10 draws and 14 defeats with the goal stats 66-53 (scored/conceded).

Viborg are already the First Division winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Silkeborg are staying put at 2nd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
