Viborg head into this one in confident shape, losing just once in their last five at home and sitting fourth in the Superliga table. Their home record is exceptionally open — a BTTS rate of 85% and over 2.5 goals in 77% of home games dwarfs the league averages of 60% on both counts, making them one of the most entertaining sides to watch on their own turf this season.

Brondby, however, arrive in poor form having won none of their last five away from home, and their travel record tells a very different attacking story. A BTTS rate of just 23% and over 2.5 in 23% of away fixtures — both well below the league norm — points to a side that shuts up shop on the road. Their clean sheet rate of 46% away suggests they will look to be compact and hard to break down.

Three wins from three in recent head-to-heads gives Viborg a further psychological edge here, and despite Brondby's defensive discipline on the road, this looks like a match where the home side's momentum and attacking output should tell. The visitors may be harder to beat than their league position implies, but Viborg appear underestimated in this one.
