Venue: Lyngby Stadion (12000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Superliga, with both Lyngby and Nordsjælland experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 10th place.

Insights:
  • Lyngby have the most conceded goals (39) in Superliga
  • Nordsjælland have the most dropped points from leading position (15) in Superliga

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nordsjælland have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-11-18 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.

Lyngby form and stats

With 1 Superliga win, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Lyngby, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Superliga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Lyngby enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Randers's place. The match ended 2-1 with Magnus Kaastrup Larsen and Emil Nielsen scoring. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Midtjylland in a game that was won 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lyngby perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lyngby as a small favourite), we find seven games. Lyngby has won two of these, drawn four and lost one.

Lyngby have scored 8 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Lyngby have conceded 17 from these games.

Nordsjælland form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nordsjælland so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-4 (win-draw-lose).

Nordsjælland delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Horsens (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Superliga game. Prior to that result Nordsjælland won their away game at AGF. The scoreline was 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nordsjælland playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Nordsjælland wins, two draws and two defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nordsjælland have scored 13 goals in 10 league games away. Nordsjælland's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
