The upcoming Danish Superliga clash between Viborg FF and Aalborg BK is set to conclude Gameweek 4 at the Energi Viborg Arena.
Both teams will be looking to secure a much-needed victory as they navigate the early stages of the season. Below is a detailed preview of the match, including team form, news, and predictions.
Viborg FF: Struggling to Find Their Footing
Viborg FF has had a challenging start to the new season, failing to secure a win in their opening three matches.
The team’s latest encounter ended in a 3-2 loss against Silkeborg, despite a spirited comeback attempt in the second half.
Prior to this, Viborg played out a 3-3 draw with Brøndby and suffered a 3-1 defeat to Randers.
Viborg’s pre-season form was promising, including a 4-1 victory over Aalborg in a friendly. However, this success has not translated into competitive matches, leaving Viborg eager to claim their first league victory.
Viborg’s Team News
Viborg will be without Martin Agnarsson and Mads Søndergaard due to injuries, and Oliver Bundgaard is also sidelined after picking up a hamstring injury.
These absences will challenge Viborg's depth as they aim to turn their season around.
Aalborg BK: A Rocky Start in the Top Flight
Aalborg BK returned to the Danish top flight after securing promotion last season but has had a rocky start with two losses in three matches.
Their only victory came against Silkeborg, where they secured a 2-1 win. However, Aalborg’s defeats against Nordsjælland and Midtjylland highlighted the challenges they face in the Superliga.
Aalborg’s Team News
Aalborg enters the match with a full-strength squad and no suspension worries, giving manager Menno Van Dam plenty of options.
The team is likely to field a similar lineup to the one that faced Midtjylland, with a strong defensive setup and an unchanged attacking trio.
Prediction: Viborg to Edge Out Aalborg
Given Viborg’s recent dominance over Aalborg, having won six of their last seven encounters, they are favoured to secure a narrow victory.
While Viborg has struggled early on, their home advantage and past success against Aalborg could give them the edge.
