With 2 Superliga wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Nordsjælland are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Superliga games in a row without a win, the Nordsjælland fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Vejle game long ago, can be stopped today.

Heartbreak before that as Nordsjælland lost 0-1 at København's place.
