Head-to-Head
- FC Midtjylland have won three of the last five Superliga meetings, but Viborg held the Danes to a 3-3 tie at home in December 2025.
- Midtjylland are 2nd in the league with 38-39 points and are in the title race.
Viborg (home)
- Midtjylland have the momentum after four unbeaten Superliga games, but Viborg FF’s recent home form and the mid-Jutland derby setting should make a close game of this matchup on Sunday.
- Viborg have been resilient enough to take points off the top two, including a 1-0 win at Brøndby.
- Nickolai Lund’s team are a compact, organised side that can be very dangerous from set pieces, with goalscoring midfielders Srđan Kuzmić and Bilal Brahimi providing the ammunition.
- Charly Nouck Horneman leads the line, and keeper Lucas Lund has made several crucial saves to maintain Viborg’s momentum.
Midtjylland (away)
- Mike Tullberg’s Midtjylland side have continued the club’s tradition of blending strong analytics-based recruitment with a high-intensity, high-pressure style.
- Franculino Djú, the Superliga’s top scorer, has uncertain availability after winter surgery and could be a key factor if fit.
- Philip Billing gives Midtjylland a physical presence in midfield and can create goals with his set pieces.
- Aral Simsir and Gue-sung Cho are talented and versatile players who can be deployed in advanced attacking roles or in midfield.
- Midtjylland have been defensively disciplined recently, recording two clean sheets in their last four league matches, while also drawing blanks in two fixtures including a 0-0 with Brøndby.
- Midtjylland’s style of play is to press relentlessly and force turnovers.
