8-10-15 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Nordsjælland when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 33 matches are 41-52 (scored/conceded).

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.
