  • This will be the first matchup of the season between the Packers and the Vikings.
  • Packers played Colts at home in week 2 and away to Eagles in week 1; They will play away to Titans on September 22.
  • Vikings played at home to 49ers in week 2 and away to Giants in week 1; They will play Texans at home on September 22.
  • Packers QB Jordan Love will reportedly not play in this match, as he is still recovering from MCL Sprain suffered in the opening match against the Eagles.

Green Bay and Minnesota both play in the National Football Conference (NFC) and are part of the North Division, which also includes the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions. The Packers have had more recent success winning their division title, but the Vikings are known for being highly competitive and regularly making the playoffs.

Who’s most likely to win?

After losing their opening game to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Packers went on to win against the Indianapolis Colts in the second week. The Vikings, on the other hand, have come out on top in their first two matches of the season against the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

The stats reveal that both teams have almost a 50% win-loss percentage against each other in previous head to heads. However, the Vikings are currently higher up on the table than the Packers, and with Jordan Love out of the equation, Green Bay may be at a slight disadvantage.

Both teams have matches to play on the Sunday before they meet. The Packers will play the Tennessee Titans while the Vikings face off the Houston Texans. The outcomes of these matches will likely influence how these two squads will fare against each other.
