FC Midtjylland-FC Vestsjælland

Sunday 4/5 17.00

FC Midtjylland (2nd) are still alive in the title race after 0-0 in Esbjerg. FC Midtjylland should be concerned about the current form of their top goalscorer, Morten Duncan Rasmussen, not scoring in the last six games he has played, despite being the lone striker. In other areas FC Midtjylland seem to be gaining some stability with the same players starting every weekend. The team is naturally still suffering from the absence of key players Izunna and Erik Sviatchenko, but they are still able to field a top-level team. FC Vestsjælland (9th) are masters in getting points in difficult matches. Last weekend they managed to earn a point in Brøndby (2-2) after scoring on two set pieces. Set pieces and strong defensive organization is the team’s forces. FC Vestsjælland might welcome back striker Ofere after having played practically without a striker the entire year. Midfielder Peter Nymann is suspended while left back Michael Lumb is doubtful. FC Vestsjælland have only lost three out of 15 away matches this season (only lost twice to nemesis Viborg and a slim loss to FC Copenhagen)! At the same time the matches they play have a tendency to be low scoring (8 out of 11 eleven matches this year has gone under 2.5 goals).

FC Midtjylland should be clear favourites, but the question is whether they are capable of breaching the FC Vestsjælland wall. Defensively Midtjylland are quite good at set pieces, so FC Vestsjælland should have problems scoring. The match could easily go under 2.5 goals.
