This could be an interesting match as Nordsjælland have their presumed home advantage while Midtjylland are ahead 14 points in the Superliga table.

Insights:
  • Nordsjælland haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Midtjylland have the fewest conceded goals (20) in Superliga

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Superliga.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Midtjylland have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
