4th place in the Superliga table for Silkeborg at present, a tip-top performance. The home team fans hope for more joy as 8th-placed Viborg visit JYSK park.

Insights:
  • Silkeborg is in the best form (5-1-0) in Superliga
  • Viborg have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

It should be mentioned that Viborg play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Viborg on artifical turf are 2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats from six games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 5-9. You can compare this with overall results below.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Silkeborg form and stats

Silkeborg have played 4 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Silkeborg are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location.

The Silkeborg goalkeeper Nicolai Larsen is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 266 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superliga.

Happy days for Silkeborg in their previous game, a fixture away at OB (placed 9th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. The striker Lind edged out all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.7 out of 10. Lind scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 17 successful passes (of 21 total).

Before that one, a fine away win at Silkeborg KFUM. A Landspokal Cup match. The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Silkeborg handle that role? We have found 8 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Viborg form and stats

Playing away, Viborg have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Superliga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Viborg are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Viborg's last game was the home draw against Midtjylland (2-2). Serginho got a match rating of 8.83 in that game, top player of the team. Serginho scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against København wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Viborg have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Viborg manager Friis as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Esbjerg.

The attacking power of Viborg when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away.
