Defending champions Brøndby IF are hoping to bounce back from a difficult autumn when the Danish league resumes on 1 April.
Hjørring chase
Injuries and poor form saw them knocked out of the UEFA Women's Cup at the quarter-final stage by unfancied Montpellier HSC, and lose their grip on top spot in the domestic championship.
Premature halt
With their European commitments brought to a premature halt, the Copenhagen side can focus their efforts on catching Fortuna Hjørring, who are out to repeat their 2002 title success.
Two-horse race
Northern outfit Fortuna hold a one-point advantage with ten games to go, in what has become a two-horse championship race. Third-placed Skovlunde lie a further 14 points adrift of Brøndby, with no realistic chance of catching the leaders.
