Tshepo’s picks

Viborg will be looking to extend their lead in the Danish First Division when they visit Helsingor today.

In their last 16 matches, the visitors have won eight games, lost three and played to five draws. They have accumulated 29 points, two more than second-placed Silkeborg.

However, the Greens have not been able to win in their last two matches. They lost 3-1 to FC Roskilde and 1-0 to Lyngby. Their last was a 2-1 win over FC Fredericia.

Meanwhile, the home side are on a two-game unbeaten run and have managed to score at least one goal in their last two matches in playing to a 1-1 draw to both Lyngby and Silkeborg.

They are 10th in the league with 16 points, having registered three wins, seven draws and six losses.

Looking at head-to-head stats, the teams’ last two fixtures ended in a 1-1 draw and a 2-2 draw, but the visitors will be eager to get a win today and extend their lead at the summit of the table.

I will put my money on a Viborg win in this tie.
