Midtjylland, currently tied at the top with Copenhagen, is aiming to pull ahead in the standings by securing a victory in Monday’s game against Viborg. This match is part of the 17th round of the Danish Superligaen.
Despite finishing in the relegation group last season, yet still securing a European entry with a first-place finish, Midtjylland has made a strong impression this season. They are eager to repay their loyal fans with a better performance. The Wolves have been in top form in recent weeks, hinting at their serious ambitions to bring more trophies back home. After being eliminated by Copenhagen in the Landspokal Cup Round of 16 in late October, Thomas Thomasberg’s team is seeking revenge against the most successful Danish club. They plan to surpass them in the Superligaen standings by the end of the regular season, especially considering they both currently have 33 points.
Viborg, who finished an impressive fourth in the Championship round last term, are set to face a significant challenge in their bid for a European ticket against Mitjylland. They must strive to secure a place in the top six positions by the end of the regular season. The Greens fueled their playoff hopes with a stunning comeback against Danish powerhouse Copenhagen, securing a late 2-1 victory with a goal from Alassana Jatte. Despite this remarkable win, Jakob Poulsen’s team faces an uphill battle to clinch a playoff spot, given they are currently trailing nine points behind AGF Aarhus, who sit in sixth place.
Midtjylland vs Viborg Betting Tips: Midtjylland to Win
Copenhagen, caught up in the Champions League, has been neglecting its domestic affairs recently. This has been skillfully taken advantage of by Midtjylland, who have managed an impressive run, putting them on equal footing with Copenhagen in the points tally. The Ulves are undoubtedly determinedly working towards taking over the Danish championship and show no signs of slowing down. This was clearly shown in their last match when they trounced Silkeborg 4-1 away, extending their victory run to five games. The Herning-based club is even more fascinating in the final third, consistently scoring at least twice in the last nine Superligaen games. There’s no doubt they will maintain their aggressive style in their upcoming Monday match.
Securing a “three-pointer” in gameweek 17 should be no obstacle for Thomas Thomasberg’s team, considering their opposition &— Viborg, a top-flight team that has been underperforming on the road, amassing a meager four points from a possible 21 in their initial seven away games. Even though Viborg might be buoyed by their surprise victory over Copenhagen last week, our expectations lean towards seeing Midtjylland’s aggressive attack shine and eventually take the lead.

Midtjylland team news
Unlike the squad that tore Silkeborg to shreds in a resounding 4-1 win in the previous timeout, coach Thomas Thomasberg faces the necessity of at least one change on Monday, given that Martin Fraisl had to abandon last week’s game in the first half due to an evident injury.
Expected to feature in the starting eleven, 19-year-old forward Franculino turned heads last week with his entrance off the bench, leaving everyone astonished as he sealed the game with a double and an assist, rightfully claiming the award for the match’s best player.

Viborg team news
As for the visiting side, Viborg will make the trip to Midtjylland without the services of Renato Junior, who will serve his final suspension on Monday, meaning Serginho will once again start as the left winger, providing attacking support to Anosike Ementa.
After securing a jaw-dropping victory over the Danish giant Copenhagen just minutes after his late cameo, Alassana Jatta is eager for the upcoming clash with another title contender to unfold in the final third.
