Midtjylland and Silkeborg should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

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 14-11-14 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.

Things are running smoothly for Silkeborg who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 23 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Vendsyssel.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to OB (placed 7th) in their previous outing. The Superliga match ended in a draw 1-1.
