Competition: Denmark Superliga
Competition: Sun 23.October
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: CASA Arena Horsens (10400 seats)

Running out at their own ground is relaxed and good for Horsens, but Silkeborg are fully set and able to win. Who wins?

Insights:
  • Horsens have the fewest scored goals (11) in Superliga
  • Silkeborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Silkeborg have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-8-12 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

Not much time to rest for the home side, as they had a Landspokal Cup match only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Hørsholm-Usserød.

Horsens form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Horsens have to build on here at CASA Arena Horsens in the Superliga.

Horsens are returning here after guesting Hørsholm-Usserød in a Landspokal Cup match and winning with a 2-1 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as Horsens lost 1-2 at Midtjylland's place.

The Horsens fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches.

Silkeborg form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Silkeborg playing as the away team in the Superliga this season.

Silkeborg delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Randers (placed 2nd) in their previous match. Drawing 3-3 against Randers after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager Nielsen needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Attacker Jørgensen got a player rating of 8.82 in the game. "Man of the match" Jørgensen scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 39 successful passes (of 44 total).

Before that, the Europa Conference League victory away at FCSB.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Silkeborg manager Nielsen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against West Ham United.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Silkeborg have scored 10 goals in 7 league games away. Silkeborg have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Silkeborg - Horsens 2-1 was the end result in these contenders' previous head-to-head match, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Horsens four wins, four draws and Silkeborg two victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
