The FC Nordsjaelland squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Brondby, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  During that encounter they had 51% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 13 shots on goal.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost.  When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games.  

They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Right To Dream Park and recording 3 wins in that same period.

A point gained from their 1-1 draw against Viborg in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Vejle.  In that game they had 41% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Viborg who had 28 attempts and 10 on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 13 games.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

On an individual basis, Dimitris Emmanouilidis has scored in each of Vejle's last 2 league games.
