FC Midtjylland-Viborg

Saturday 21/9 17.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) are still the talk of the town. With a six-point lead many regard them as favourites to the gold. The strikers Morten Rasmussen and Sylvester Igboun are two players who are hard to stop; Rasmussen as the goal scorer and Igboun as the chance creator (and a few goals as well). Midfielder Izunna Uzochukwu is suspended and other midfielders are out with injuries. Despite this they still won against a renewed FC Nordsjælland team last weekend. Viborg (5th) have impressed. The striker Thomas Dalgaard is still looking sharp and may have had a goal wrongfully nullified last weekend. Their counterattacks are deadly but once they are behind they cannot create the game and are not a team that are comfortable with the ball. The injuries of defender Mikkel Rask and midfielder Lukas Lerager are still crucial and the back-ups are not at the same standard.

FC Midtjylland are just too strong at the moment. Their offence is impressive and the width of the squad as well. The odds are not good but it looks like a home win.

Idea: 1 - 1.74 Betfair 

UPDATE: The local derby is expected to be an entertaining and goal filled match, so it could be interesting to look into anytime goalscorers. The odds for a Morten Rasmussen goal is far from interesting (2.35 at it's highest). Instead we would make a bet for Sylvester Igboun, who has been in hot scoring form with five goals in seven matches - odds 3.00 at Mermaidbet. If you want a goal scorer from Viborg a risky, but valuable, bet could be defender Ogunbiyi. He is a monster in air and hard to protect against on corners and free-kicks resulting in two goals already in this season. Odds 16.00 at Unibet is a good offer!
