After Tuesday’s Champions League meeting with Dortmund, focus turns back to the 3F Superliga, where the Danish champions are aiming to secure three points.
Viborg FF’s Challenge Against F.C. Copenhagen
Viborg FF visit Parken on Sunday at 6 p.m., also seeking a result that keeps them clear of the relegation zone and in touch with the Top 6 race. The mid-table is tight, and Viborg sit four points off sixth place.
Across the first 12 rounds, Viborg have occupied positions ranging from sixth to 11th, and they were sixth as recently as two rounds ago. Their form has dipped, with four losses in the last five matches. The season tally stands at four wins and eight defeats, matching the number of losses they recorded in the entire regular season last year. They have yet to draw; all 12 games have been decided by narrow margins—nine by a single goal and three by two goals.
Viborg captain Jeppe Grønning is set to mark his 400th appearance for the club on Sunday, a milestone he has reached since joining in the summer of 2012. Only three players have featured more times for Viborg. He noted the occasion adds a personal spotlight in a special venue, but emphasized that the team’s approach remains unchanged once the match begins.
Head-to-head numbers favor F.C. Copenhagen at Parken. They have lost only two of 30 home meetings with Viborg, with the most recent home defeat in March 2004. The other matches have produced 22 Copenhagen wins and six draws. The last Superliga meeting in Parken ended 1-1 in August 2024, when Orri Óskarsson equalized late. Copenhagen also won the season opener in Viborg 3-2, and recent clashes between the clubs have been evenly split, with three wins each.
As the pressure builds in the 3F Superliga, both teams look to solidify their standings in the league. Fans can expect an intense match filled with competitive spirit and strategic plays. The outcome of this match could be pivotal for Viborg FF as they strive to avoid relegation and push for a place in the upper half of the table.
