Viborg vs SonderjyskE prediction 08.05.2026 | Superliga

Viborg failed to secure an appearance in the Championship Group in back-to-back seasons. This year, they finally made a step forward and reached it. And they are in a really good position to ensure the European Qualifiers. Considering they only had two European Qualifiers thus far, reaching it would be a massive success. At the moment, they sit in 4th place with 44 points from 30 rounds. The desired 3rd place is only two points away, but they have to finish the season strongly, as teams from 3rd to 6th are only five points apart.

Two very important players, Srdjan Kuzmic and Jeppe Gronning, served their one-game suspensions in the previous game against Midtjylland and will be available for this match. Since they are an important part of the first eleven, that will be a massive plus for the team. On the other hand, Yonis Njoh, who missed the previous games due to injury, should remain sidelined.

Sonderjyske have played a very strange season. They had an amazing first part of the season and pretty much surprised everyone with their 3rd-place finish in the regular phase. However, in the Championship Group, they completely crumbled, and many suggest they do not belong among the best teams in Denmark. Despite their poor Championship Group campaign, they are in an OK position to secure European Qualifiers. However, their recent performances, especially on the road, do not look very promising before these two decisive games.

Matthew Hoppe suffered an injury in the previous game against Aarhus and had to leave the field after 68 minutes. The 25-year-old just scored goals in back-to-back games, and his absence could be a huge factor for the visitors. For now, he is listed as questionable. Meanwhile, Marcus Bundgaard and Runar Sigurgeirsson should remain sidelined with their long-term injuries.
