Venue: Energi Viborg Arena (9566 seats)

Viborg have 27 points running out as the host team. Nordsjælland have got 21 points playing away. Will this be a home win?

Insights:
  • Viborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Nordsjælland have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

7-8-19 (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 34 matches are 43-63 (scored/conceded).

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Viborg form and stats

Viborg's struggle is real here at Energi Viborg Arena with only 10 points collected from 11 Superliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-5.

Viborg lost their last game at Nordsjælland after a 0-2 scoreline. Sørensen, defender, was given a rating of 7.63/10 in that game, top of the team. Sørensen hit two key passes and won 2 of 4 duels.

Before that, Viborg drew at home versus OB.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Viborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn four and lost one.

The Viborg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Viborg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nordsjælland form and stats

Nordsjælland have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 3-1-7 (11 played).

Nordsjælland have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Andreas Hansen. It's been 270 minutes since they last conceded in Superliga.

The fans enjoyed Nordsjælland's previous fixture versus Viborg, a 2-0 win played at home. Hansen was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.03. The agile goalkeeper Hansen topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw at Vejle's stadium before that.

Nordsjælland are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Nordsjælland have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Nordsjælland's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
