Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Lyngby Stadium (12000 seats)

With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Lyngby fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Silkeborg.

It's no vacation for neither Lyngby nor Silkeborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 16-7-15 (win-draw-loss) from 38 matches.

Lyngby form and stats

Lyngby have played 10 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Lyngby's last game was hosting Silkeborg (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. 1-1 away at AGF before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lyngby have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The Lyngby fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.

Silkeborg form and stats

There's been little loot from Silkeborg's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the Superliga. Silkeborg, who have the most conceded goals (45) in Superliga, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on K. Nielsen, the Silkeborg manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Silkeborg, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Lyngby (placed 9th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Randers.

We have checked recent matches where Silkeborg have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were W2-D0-L3.

Silkeborg find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Silkeborg have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Lyngby - Silkeborg 1-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 6 - 2 - 2 (Lyngby wins - draws - Silkeborg wins). As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 had two or less.
