Form guide
Viborg went into the weekend third with 20 points and are strong at home: four wins and one defeat, scoring 11 and conceding 4. They have won their last two league games, 4-1 against Nordsjælland and 2-0 at Randers.
Midtjylland are second with 22 points and unbeaten in the league. Away from home they have two wins and three draws, scoring 8 and conceding 5. Nine of their ten league games had two or more goals, and eight had both teams scoring. They travelled to Albania on Thursday for a 1-1 draw in the Conference League, so legs may be heavy.
Head-to-head
This has been an entertaining fixture. Two of the last five meetings ended 3-3, and four of the five had at least two goals. Viborg and Midtjylland have won one each, and three were drawn.
Our prediction and why
With two of the top three meeting, the result is open, so we choose over 1.5 goals. Both teams score regularly (Viborg 17 league goals, Midtjylland 19), Midtjylland's games almost always have goals, and the head-to-head backs it up.
Other bets to consider
Midtjylland or draw (X2) is a reasonable alternative given their unbeaten run, but Viborg's home form makes it riskier than the goals bet.
