Viborg vs. FC Midtjylland Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Viborg and FC Midtjylland, taking place on Sunday, 19 February 2023, at Energi Viborg Arena in Viborg.
Viborg, Recent Form
Viborg have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against Brøndby in their previous league match. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Brøndby who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Jacob Friis will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
There will be mixed feelings from De Grønne, although undefeated in their last 14 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Jay-Roy Grot will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Viborg.
FC Midtjylland, Recent Form
FC Midtjylland will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Randers last time out. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Randers' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
There will be mixed feelings from Ulvene, having been undefeated in their last 12 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Pione Sisto is giving FC Midtjylland's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Viborg vs. FC Midtjylland Head to head
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Energi Viborg Arena, Viborg have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. In each of the previous 3 matches against Ulvene, Viborg have let in at least one goal. In their past 5 meetings, FCM's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so De Grønne will have to take their chances when they come.
In the past FCM have managed to keep their hosts in this away league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 8 games in a row.
