📋 Team News: Silkeborg IF

Younes Bakiz (unknown injury), Pontus Rödin (Knee injury), Alexander Madsen (Hamstring injury) and Sofus Berger (Foot bruise) will be missing for Silkeborg IF manager Kent Nielsen.

We think that De røde look set to use the 4-3-2-1 system for this one, handing starts to Nicolai Larsen, Jens Martin Gammelby, Robin Oestroem, Pedro Ganchas, Andreas Poulsen, Mads Larsen, Oskar Boesen, Mads Freundlich, Anders Klynge, Callum McCowatt and Tonni Adamsen.

🗞️ Team News: Viborg FF

Viborg FF boss Jakob Poulsen has a number of players out of action. Zan Zaletel (Knee injury) and Oliver Bundgaard (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that De Grønne appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system with a starting lineup of Lucas Lund Pedersen, Jean-Manuel Mbom, Daniel Anyembe, Stipe Radic, Srdjan Kuzmic, Asker Beck, Jeppe Groenning, Thomas Joergensen, Serginho, Renato Junior and Isak Steiner Jensen.

🧠 Prediction

Viborg FF and Silkeborg IF could both find themselves scoring on more than one occasion in a potential goal-fest with little between the two teams.

Looks like a high-scoring draw might be possible, as we’re expecting it to be that close. We therefore think that it’s going to be a 2-2 draw at the end of the 90.
