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, 10 November 2024, at Energi Viborg Arena in Viborg.
Viborg, Recent Form
The 2-1 away defeat to FC Nordsjaelland will not have sat easily with the Viborg squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to FC Nordsjaelland who had 22 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Energi Viborg Arena, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
FC Midtjylland, Recent Form
FC Midtjylland boss Thomas Thomasberg will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-1 home mauling from Brondby. In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 11 of their 16 shots on goal.
Thomasberg will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for FC Midtjylland, Franculino Djú will be looking to add more goals against Viborg in this match.
