Can Silkeborg give themselves a lift?
Silkeborg is rooted to the foot of the table. Just before the lockdown they were starting to have an upturn in form. They took a W1 D2 record from their final three games before the break.
The overall home record of Silkeborg is only W2 D2 L8 so there’s little to give punters a great deal of optimism. But again, with a nod to their improvement, they have taken a W2 D1 L1 record in their last four home league fixtures.
That run included a 1-1 draw against second-placed FC Copenhagen. Silkeborg are yet to collect a clean sheet at home this season and they are averaging just shy of 1.2 goals per home fixture.
75% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals so that is definitely a trend to consider. To add on to that, over 2.5goals have happened in all but one of the last fifteen games between the two teams.
There was an exciting 2-2 draw between the two when they last met in August last year. Notably of the goals that they have conceded at home this season, 64% have gone against them in the second half of fixtures. 12 of the 16 second half goals that Silkeborg have conceded were all between the 61-75 minute.
Can Nordsjaelland score an away win?
Fifth-placed Nordsjaelland are only two points out of third place, so have plenty to play for. The big positive that they have going for them is that they are the top scorers in the Danish top flight currently.
The away form that they have produced is W4 D2 L6. Their form just before the lockdown was W4 D1. They have secured an average of 1.8 goals per away game, but they haven’t particularly shown up well defensively.
Nordsjaelland have conceded at an average of exactly 2 goals per game against. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of FC Nordsjaelland’s last 12 away games in the league.
