The Silkeborg & Viborg managers K. Nielsen and J. Neestrup Hansen are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the First Division league table.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Silkeborg's stadium, JYSK park, has a artifical turf surface. Viborg have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Viborg when playing on artifical turf; 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses from four matches. They have scored 8 goals in these games and conceded 5.
Silkeborg form and stats
Perfect First Division season at home so far for Silkeborg, who have the most scored goals (20) in First Division, 3 wins from 3 appearances. Silkeborg has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at JYSK park. We remember; it was SønderjyskE.
Silkeborg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Hvidovre's place. The match ended 5-1. A Landspokal Cup defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Esbjerg.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Silkeborg played a great game against Hvidovre and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The manager K. Nielsen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fremad Amager in only three days.
Goals are plentiful at JYSK park in the league this season as Silkeborg has scored 9 goals here in 3 home games. Silkeborg have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Viborg form and stats
Things could have gone better for Viborg in their First Division away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
Viborg go into this game after a win, the home game against Fremad Amager that ended 3-1. Prior to that match, the Viborg manager J. Neestrup Hansen faced defeat when travelling to Hedensted (after extra-time) and losing 1-3.
The schedule is very tough for Viborg now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A First Division game at Hvidovre is waiting in only three days.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Viborg are regular goalscorers on their travels. Viborg have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
