The Danish Superliga will begin this week, and as part of the opening round of fixtures, Viborg will take on Copenhagen on Friday, 18 July.
Copenhagen come into the match as the reigning champions, and while they will have one eye on their upcoming Champions League qualifiers, they will also be keen to get off to a strong start domestically.
Viborg should be capable of giving them a good test, after a respectable midtable finish last season in the Superliga.
