Silkeborg vs HJK – Fans of Silkeborg IF will be hoping for a repeat of their team’s 0-2 Superliga victory over FC Nordsjaelland last time around. In that game, Silkeborg IF had 46% of the possession and 3 of their 7 shots on goal were successful.
Tonni Adamsen (3′, 15′) was the lone player for Silkeborg IF to get a goal. Four of FC Nordsjlland’s five goal attempts were successful. In their last six games, Silkeborg IF under Kent Nielsen have scored 10 goals. Five goals have been scored against them in comparison throughout that time.
HJK will enter the game fresh off a 0-3 Veikkausliiga victory in which they defeated FC Haka. Anthony Olusanya (38′), Bojan Radulovi (42′), and Aapo Halme (45′) scored goals for HJK.
The HJK defence has put on a string of strong performances, and as a result, they have only given up one goal in their previous six games overall. Their forwards have scored nine goals in that period. Putting past outcomes aside, only time will tell if that trend will hold in this upcoming game.
Silkeborg vs HJK – Betting Analysis
There aren’t many personnel concerns, with Silkeborg IF manager Kent Nielsen just having to worry about one player’s fitness out of an otherwise full roster. Gustav Dahl (concussion) will not participate.
Toni Koskela, manager of HJK, must select a team from a limited pool of candidates. Valtteri Moren, Roope Riski, and Manuel Martic are all out due to injuries to their knees. We believe that Silkeborg IF will most likely control the ball and be rewarded with respectable opportunities.
HJK, in comparison, may find it difficult to penetrate their defence, but we believe it is very likely that they will score during this match. When the final buzzer sounds, Silkeborg IF will have a relatively comfortable 3-1 victory.
