Silkeborg-Hobro

Sunday 8/3 13.00

Silkeborg (12th) got their first victory of the season last weekend with an impressive 2-1 in Randers. Silkeborg were quite lucky and efficient in front of goal, something that has been a big problem throughout the season. Silkeborg still have the lowest scoring percentage in the league, only scoring on 13.6% of the shots on target (league average is 24.9%). The win could give Silkeborg some new energy, and they will have to win this match if they want to hang on to their obscure dream of survival. Right back Dennis Flinta is suspended, but Jens Martin Gammelby returns from suspension and could replace Flinta. Hobro (8th) got a very important win against a weakened FC Nordsjælland team last weekend (1-0). Hobro played a quite poor match, but the outcome was terrific. Hobro are now 9 points clear of the relegation line, and is in a good position for survival. Hobro might benefit from the return of winger Mikkel Beckmann who was injured in the last match.

A quite even match is in store. Last time they met in Silkeborg, Silkeborg were the better side but had to settle for a 2-2 draw. Hobro have since improved their squad, so this could be even more equal. A draw is our prediction here.
