Silkeborg IF

Silkeborg IF will be looking for an improved result here after the 2-1 Superliga losing effort in their last game against Brøndby IF.

In that match, Silkeborg IF managed 55% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Silkeborg IF was Oliver Sonne (66'). Brøndby had 18 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Nicolai Vallys (31') and Ohi Omoijuanfo (79') scored for Brøndby IF.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Silkeborg IF have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Silkeborg IF have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals during that time. Still, we must now wait to see if the trend might be replicated in this upcoming match or not.

🗞️ Team News: Silkeborg IF

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Silkeborg IF gaffer Kent Nielsen to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Gustav Dahl (Concussion) won’t play.

In all likelihood, De røde will possibly make use of the 4-3-2-1 system for the game with Nicolai Larsen, Oliver Sonne, Tobias Salquist, Joel Felix, Lukas Engel, Stefan Thordarson, Mark Brink, Anders Klynge, Soeren Tengstedt, Sebastian Joergensen and Tonni Adamsen.

📰 Team News: FC Midtjylland

Due to a completely injury-free squad to pick from, the FC Midtjylland manager Albert Capellas has no fitness worries to report before this match. Júnior Brumado is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Ulvene appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system using Jonas Loessl, Mads Doehr Thychosen, Erik Sviatchenko, Henrik Dalsgaard, Victor Bak, Kristoffer Olsson, Emiliano Martinez, Emam Ashour, Gustav Isaksen, Aral Simsir and Edward Chilufya.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that FC Midtjylland might need a bit of good fortune to find the net against this Silkeborg IF lineup who should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 victory for Silkeborg IF at the conclusion of the game.
