In a weekend match on Fri Jul 22nd, in week 2, Midtjylland will host Silkeborg in a meeting of these two evenly matched Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, a perfect day for football. 7th placed Midtjylland is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Randers. Gustav Isaksen scored the first goal for Midtjylland in the 54th minute, then Adam Andersson tied it up for Randers in the 60th minute earning Randers at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while silkeborg sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Lyngby. Kristian Riis struck first for Lyngby in the 43rd minute on a feed from Brian Hamalainen, then Mathias Kristensen added another in the 51st minute on a penalty. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Midtjylland won the head to head battle with 4 wins.
Nicklas Helenius has been the most effective weapon for Silkeborg lately. The Danish attacker has netted 3 goals in his last 5 matches. Both Mads Thychosen and Evander have been the hottest scorers for Midtjylland in the last five each having scored 2 goals each.
