  • Viborg have the most points from losing position (16) in Superliga
  • Nordsjælland have the fewest conceded goals (18) in Superliga

13-9-11 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Nordsjælland when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 33 matches are 46-38 (scored/conceded).

Both teams have had enough days rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's have faith in that this will be an in-your-face fixture!

The spoils were shared in Viborg's previous game, also at home. Visiting Randers (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline.

Midfield player Leemans got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, the max score being 10. Leemans scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against AaB in the Landspokal Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Viborg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
