Viborg and FC Copenhagen battle for three points in a Danish Superliga matchday 22 clash on Sunday at the Energi Viborg Arena.
The hosts are coming off a 1-1 at Aarhus last weekend. Viborg went ahead through Frederik Tingager's 53rd-minute own goal before Mikael Anderson equalised in the 79th minute.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at Chelsea in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16 in midweek. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 58th-minute strike settled the contest and saw the Danes eliminated with a 3-1 aggregate defeat.
The Lion now shift their focus domestically, where their last game saw them held to a 1-1 home draw with Sonderjyske. The stalemate saw them drop to second in the standings, with 41 points from 21 games, while Viborg are eighth with 25 points.

Viborg vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
