📏 Form Guide

FC Helsingør DLDDDL ⚠

FC Helsingør will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-2 1. division defeat in their last game at the hands of Lyngby BK.

It has been all too rare in recent games where FC Helsingør have shown defensive steel. In fact, Helsingør have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 9 goals along the way.

Silkeborg IF WDLLWW

Silkeborg IF come into this clash following a 1-3 Superliga Play-Offs win with the eclipse of Odense BK in their most recent match.

For Silkeborg IF, the goals were scored by Emil Holten (12', 26') and Alexander Rasmussen (93'). Mikkel Hyllegaard (55') scored for Odense BK.

A run of very capable showings by the Silkeborg IF defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 12. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, of course.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their prior head-to-head clashes going back to 22/04/2018 shows us that FC Helsingør have won 0 of these and Silkeborg IF 2, with the tally of drawn games standing at 4.

A sum of 16 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 6 for Helsingør and 10 coming from De røde. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.67.

📋 Team News: Silkeborg IF

From a largely healthy squad, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Silkeborg IF boss Kent Nielsen to be concerned about. Milan Massop (Unknown Injury) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that FC Helsingør have the ability to put a goal past this Silkeborg IF outfit, but a single goal probably won’t quite be enough to give them the result that they want.

We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 win for Silkeborg IF after the 90. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
