Silkeborg form and stats

Silkeborg are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Superliga games here at JYSK park. In general it's been a long time since Silkeborg tasted defeat here at JYSK park, as they have taken at least one point from their last 14 home games in the league.

Stress levels are on the rise for Silkeborg's attacking players as they have now played 270 minutes without scoring in a league game. A. Lind was their last goal scorer. Nothing to worry about in defence for Silkeborg, as their goalkeeper Nicolai Larsen has completely shut out the opponents for 305 minutes in the Superliga.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus AaB in the Superliga last time out and are looking for a win here. The goalie Nicolai Larsen was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.03 out of ten. Larsen stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with København the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Silkeborg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
