The decider at home vs. København: this truly is an all-or-nothing game, as you cannot sit back and play for a draw. That might drop you back to that frightful 3rd place, though a cup win might then save you from that dreadful play-off.
This is it: will we look back and think they were so close (nearly a title, nearly a cup), or will you push through and claim legendary silverware?

This is the making of a storybook ending. You need to win and have your favorite club win in order for you to win the title. As @Danimal5981 mentioned, it’s all or nothing. You will need to attack and not lose focus on your game while score watching the other game.

True. It's Viborg - FC Midtjylland in the final game though. Brøndby and FC København go head to head as well. Two derbies on the final day deciding the title. Couldn't have set this better up myself.
Regarding the Playoff, there is an unfortunate scheduling error in FC25. After the final league game, a date is set in June for the playoff match between 3rd and 7th. But before that we also have the cup final. So IF I end in 3rd, I could actually win the cup final before the playoff match, removing the significance from that game entirely from Viborg's point of view.

Indeed. As mentioned above, two derbies end the season and decide the title race. Lovely.

That's a shame. Close again, but again not quite: it's ironic that Midtjylland may have cost you the title and now Silkeborg can undo even more (cup and/or play-off), while the main fight throughout the season was with København and Brøndby...
Upside is that in Europa League or Conference League you might be able to get further than Champions League.

Thanks, yeah I get the irony. Fighting all season with the two big ones, then having the two rivals come in and interfere in the end. However, the 2-1 defeat to FC København was probably where I lost it. Leading 1-0 in the second half, it was almost game over losing that match with only two games left. I was lucky to get a second chance, but that was where I lost it IMO.
I agree that Europa League and Conference League could be a better fit for Viborg and any Danish club for that matter. You know, six clubs entered the UEFA competitions this season. FC København and Viborg in the Champions League: Both eliminated in League Phase. The other four: All reaching the Round of 16. At least.
