Viborg form and stats

Home games in the Superliga have been a walk in the park for Viborg so far, with 16 points won from 6 matches; 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. The last three games played by Viborg, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Viborg shared the glory with Lyngby in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Midfielder Grønning was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.35 (out of ten) in that game. Grønning had 39 successful passes (of 48 total).

Before that, Viborg played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Midtjylland.

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 11 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

There will be little rest for Viborg after this match as they are travelling to Ishøj for a Landspokal Cup game in only three days.

From these home matches, Viborg have conceded only 5 goals.
