Silkeborg vs Midtjylland tips and predictions

Upset klakson sounding for Silkeborg

The away team is expected to prevail when these two sides get it on but they are too short a price in this match-up.

Silkeborg will have been taking notes during Midtjylland's reverses in their recent results. Losses have gradually been stacking up for this group of away players over their last 11 fixtures. They've been beaten 5 times in that period. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

Silkeborg need to unleash their best form to get a result. At home they are looking good. Their recent 3 home matches have seen them knocking in an average of 2.7 goals per game and that effort has been consolidated at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 14 home games. Focussing on this recent performance data will give their supporters plenty of encouragement.

There have been periods when Midtjylland have lost their shape and they have lacked the right stuff near the 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that this might not be one-way traffic. Their fans will have faith in them. Goal scoring chances haven't been bountiful for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 3 away matches.

The sportsbooks believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Midtjylland. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.
