The hosts won their first Superliga game here at Right to Dream Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Nordsjælland last season were 5 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses from 16 games.

A nice win for Nordsjælland last time playing, versus Lyngby. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Hansen (2) scoring for the victors. Hansen, an attacker, was the champion performer for the team in that fixture, receiving a rating of 8.25 (out of 10). Hansen scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 18 successful passes (of 22 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Brøndby and winning 3-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nordsjælland perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nordsjælland as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Nordsjælland has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.
