SønderjyskE welcome Nordsjælland for another interesting Superliga fixture here at Sydbank Park.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

It should be mentioned that Nordsjælland play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Nordsjælland on grass are 12 victories, 12 draws and 20 defeats from 44 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 69-83. You can compare this with overall results below.

SønderjyskE form and stats

SønderjyskE have only played one Superliga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from 16 matches.

Nothing to worry about in defence for SønderjyskE, as their goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas has completely shut out the opponents for 201 minutes in the Superliga.

SønderjyskE's last game was hosting Vejle (placed 12th) and winning 1-0. Stefan Gartenmann was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Gartenmann hit one key pass and won 9 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Silkeborg that finished 0-0.

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