Minnesota Vikings Form
Minnesota head to Lambeau Field having dropped back-to-back games to lose top spot in the NFC North.
The Vikings opened the campaign with a 39-22 victory over Green Bay, and that proved to be the start of a six-game run.
They beat Chicago 9-3 and Tampa Bay 23-16 on the road, before returning home to battle past Miami, 15-10.
Minnesota then took their streak to six games as they beat New Orleans 23-13 on the road and 16-10 at home, but their struggling offense has finally been their undoing in recent weeks.
The Vikings’ perfect start was ended by a 19-15 defeat in Detroit, and that was followed by a 23-6 loss to Buffalo on Monday night.
Green Bay Packers Form
Green Bay go into this massive NFC North showdown having won back-to-back games to take their record to 6-3.
The Packers made a slow start to the season as they sandwiched a 20-17 overtime win at the New York Jets with defeats to Minnesota, 39-22, and Atlanta, 35-14.
A 17-14 win at Tampa Bay kick-started their season though, and they have now won five of the last six.
Green Bay beat Chicago 31-7 and Dallas 23-13 at home, before heading to Detroit for a 20-17 defeat at the hands of the Lions.
The Packers bounced back to beat Carolina 27-19, before registering a blowout win at New England last weekend, beating the Patriots 45-27.
Verdict
Green Bay are come off their most impressive win of the season, in which they looked sharp on both sides of the football.
Minnesota, meanwhile, saw their offense stall yet again, and as elite as that defense has been, it is tough to have much faith in the Vikings despite their record.
