Midtjylland vs Nordsjaelland Prediction & Match Preview

Midtjylland and Nordsjaelland will take on each other in the second derby of Sunday’s rich Superligaen schedule.

The two teams are separated by just two points in the top half of the league standings ahead of the Matchday No 15 clash on Sunday afternoon at MCH Arena.

Midtjylland got off to a slow start to the 2023/24 season but they seem to have found the wanted form with a streak of five wins and a draw in the last six league affairs.

The latest success came seven days ago when Thomas Thomasberg’s troops did not face any problems in the 4-1 drubbing of newly-promoted Hvidovre on the road.

Midtjylland finished the job in the first half last weekend, scoring three unanswered first-half goals on the occasion.

They’ve now scored at least two goals in each of the last seven league fixtures. Maintaining this impressive attacking thread will represent a big task, though, as the rival comes in the likes of Nordsjaelland who own the best defensive record in the division.

No other team, including the top two sides FC Copenhagen and Brondby, have conceded fewer than Nordsjaelland’s 11 goals in the inaufural 14 games of the season.

Just one of the previous five matches Johaness Thorup’s men played in Superligaen saw three or more goals scored.

Nordsjaelland, however, have just two wins in the last five league games. One of these has come last Sunday against newly-promoted Vejle (1-0).

Latest Meetings

Midtjylland will be hoping to get revenge for a painful 0-3 defeat in August this year in the reverse match at Right to Dream Park.

Midtjylland have been much more successful in the history of clashes against Nordsjaelland at MCH Arena where they won 20, drew 11, and lost just 4 of the previous 35 outings in this matchup.

Only two of the last five H2H meetings between these rivals produced three or more goals.

The Verdict

Nordsjaelland will come up with a very conservative approach, trying to keep things quiet at the back as the primary task against one of the best attacking teams in the league.

Knowing how difficult to break down the visitors have been all season long, we consider the Under 2.5 goals FT the best betting option here at the 2.05 odds. We, however, also expect Midtjylland to prevail and get the much-needed win at the 2.30 odds given they are on a streak of five wins and a draw in the last six league games.
