GAIS 1-0 Nordsjælland result, stats and report

Djurgården made it four wins from their last five Allsvenskan matches with a composed 2-0 home victory over GAIS, goals from Kristian Strømland Lien and B. Hegland doing the damage either side of half-time. GAIS finished the match with two red cards and no answer to a Djurgården defence that simply refused to be broken.

AGF claimed a convincing 2-0 victory at Nordsjælland on Sunday, with Emil Rasmussen and substitute Hjalte Boe Rasmussen scoring late to punish a home side that created chances but lacked the ruthlessness to take them.

St. Gallen had the chances, the shots, and the desire to win this one. Nordsjælland had the composure to take it from them, and that is the difference between the two sides right now.

FC Midtjylland came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga, with Martin Erlić heading home a late equaliser four minutes from time. The thing is, Midtjylland did enough to win this match. They just did not take their chances when it mattered.

Lyngby Boldklub have drawn more matches than they have won or lost combined in recent Danish Superliga action. Nordsjælland arrive having won six of their last ten and they will not care about the home crowd.

Nordsjælland arrive at Tynecastle on a five-match winning run in this competition, having conceded just twice. Hearts have not kept a clean sheet in either of their two Conference League matches. Someone has to change their tune on Thursday night.

GAIS host a Sirius side that has won just once in their last five Allsvenskan matches, with Saturday's clash offering the home side a genuine opportunity to capitalise on their opponents' defensive frailty.
