Sūduva host the first leg in this deciding Europa Conference League 2nd Qualifying Round game. Viborg will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Energi Viborg Arena before the return leg in 9 days.
These teams have little in common geographically as Viborg have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Viborg could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superliga game only four sleeps ago.

Viborg form and stats
Lauritsen and Bech scored in Viborg's previous match, the home game against AaB that ended 2-1. Goalkeeper Pedersen was absolutely vital in the Viborg victory against AaB, making eight saves. Pedersen was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.8. The agile goalkeeper Pedersen saved a penalty.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus SønderjyskE at their stadium, the result 2-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Viborg manager Friis as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against AGF.
