Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Viborg is 6.92, compared to 7.00 for Aarhus. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Viborg's highest-rated starter is T. Jorgensen (7.37), while Aarhus's best-rated player is G. Links (7.37).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Viborg have contributed 17 goals and 16 assists this season, led by S. Kuzmic (3G). Aarhus's starters account for 24 goals and 15 assists, spearheaded by T. Bech (11G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Viborg deploy 4 defenders rated 6.95 on average, against Aarhus's 3-man backline averaging 7.08. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Viborg field 3 midfielders averaging 7.00, versus Aarhus's 5 rated 7.01. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Viborg start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.79, compared to 2 for Aarhus averaging 6.89. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 80% for Viborg and 83% for Aarhus. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Viborg's starters have collected 31 yellow cards this season, compared to 21 for Aarhus. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Viborg's starting XI is 23.5 (youngest: H. Bidstrup (19), oldest: J. Gronning (34)), while Aarhus average 27.9 (youngest: K. Arnstad (22), oldest: J. Hansen (40)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Viborg's starters average 22 league appearances each, versus 23 for Aarhus. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
