The deciders are now coming: important not to end on that dreaded (and unlogical) 3rd place.
However, you do have a key advantage which is a superior goal difference, which currently puts you ahead of Brøndby: this is where your minimalist approach with a superior defense pays dividend.

Pretty interesting you keep having low possession stats against the same side. Their system must counter yours pretty well.
A huge week coming up with two must win games.
Yes, I couldn't believe how I kept being bossed (possession-wise) by this team. They didn't get a lot of points from it though, so I guess joke was on them in the end. But it was really strange, who they just turned into prime Barcelona / Man City, every time I played against them. And they are not even known as a tiki-taka team in Denmark anyway. Not to my knowledge anyway.

Yes indeed. The goal difference could turn out to be pivotal in this close title race. I was going to write "historically close", but I didn't want to check if other title races had ever been this close with three teams in it. 2023/24 had three as well, until FC København slipped in the penultimate game of the season. Then it was all down to Brøndby and FC Midtjylland on the final day.

Tricky season ending: in the league it's all or nothing now. In the cup you're facing Silkeborg: thusfar with VFF one win, two draws and a defeat against them.
However, I'd hope that two title battles and experience in Champions League ought to give you the edge in the cup final. But essentially it's three must-win finals now!

Title hopes are slim now. You cannot afford to drop any points and need a little help.
The cup final should be yours. The team has the experience and can beat anyone in one match.
I fear for the league though. It is not looking good for you.

Yes, that's true. I could win all three and still come short in the league though. On the other hand the league format ensures that all the top teams play other top teams in the final games. So nothing is certain yet. But it was a huge letdown to lose the lead against FC København and end up losing the game in injury time.

That's true. I need help in the league. Fortunately it's a tough schedule for all involved, with Brøndby and FC København clashing on the final day. So I could be lucky to have a slim chance still.
