Aarhus's expected lineup features Christiansen in goal, with Tingager, Rösler and Kahl in defence — a back three or four, formation not confirmed. The midfield looks strong with Jønsson, Anderson, Emmery and Arnstad, while Knudsen, Bech and Bogere lead the line. That's a side packed with technical quality and Champions League experience. They'll look to control possession and pick holes in Viborg's block.

Viborg, based on their recent confirmed lineup against SonderjyskE, are likely to set up in a 4-3-3 — that's from the brief, so we can use it. Kiilerich in goal, a back four of Kuzmic, Kirkegaard, Zaletel and Kristensen, with Beck, Groenning and Joergensen in midfield. Karchoud, Hanza and Horneman provide the attacking threat. They'll press high and try to win second balls, but they may sit deeper against a side like Aarhus.

The key battle will be in midfield. Aarhus's double pivot of Anderson and Emmery will look to control tempo, while Viborg's trio will try to disrupt and break quickly. Wide areas matter too — Viborg's full-backs will have to deal with Bech and Bogere's movement. Set pieces could be a factor, with Tingager a real aerial threat from corners.
