Brøndby-Silkeborg

Monday 28/7 19.00

Brøndby (12th) lost to a very strong FC Midtjylland last weekend. It was a disappointment for Brøndby that have looked strong in pre-season friendlies. Brøndby should be more dominant in this home match against Silkeborg. Brøndby lost winger Alexander Szymanowski to injury in last match. Brøndby have a good alternative in Ferhan Hasani and they have also just bought winger Elba Rashani from Odd Grenland. Striker Johan Elmander is expected to return after missing last match due to personal reasons. Brøndby has one of the league’s most dangerous offenses, but the defence is not very impressive. Silkeborg (7th) impressed in the first match against FC Copenhagen (0-0) and had the referee acted differently in a few vital situations they would probably have won. Silkeborg showed what they are good at: working hard and like a team. They will still be without right wingback Frans Putros and central midfielder Daniel A. Pedersen.

Brøndby look stronger, but Silkeborg have a solid and experienced team that could be difficult to break down. It is the first home game of the season and Brøndby are likely to get a boost from playing at home. If they score the first goal against Silkeborg, the match will open up and Brøndby are likely to win by more than one. But Silkeborg should not be underestimated, why this looks more like a no bet match.

UPDATE: Elmander will not return. Rashani has been called up
