Aalborg preview: Can they avoid another loss to start the season?
As a newly promoted team, Aalborg will have a goal of staying up this season, but they didn't have the best time in the first round since they've lost 3-0 to Nordsjaelland. That being said, this was a tough first game for Aalborg since Nordsjaelland are one of the best teams in the country, so we should see a better performance from them against Silkeborg at home.
When it comes to team news, Jubril Adedeji remains out with an injury.
Predicted lineup: Muller (GK), Arnorsson, Otoa, Kramer, Molgaard, Widell, Hojholt, Davidsen, Ross, John & Jorgensen

Silkeborg preview: Hoping for a second win in a row in the league
After finishing last season in the last place in the Championship Group, Silkeborg fans will hope for a better showing this time around and their team did start the new season with a win over SonderjyskE in the first round. Also, Silkeborg have won the Danish Cup last season, so they are also in Europe, but their first match in Europa League qualifiers has ended with a 3-1 loss to Molde.
Meanwhile, Alexander Busch is out with an injury for Silkeborg.

Player to watch: Alexander Lind
With 10 goals in the Danish Superliga last season, Lind was one of the top scorers in the league and one of Silkeborg's most important players as they finished the season in the Championship Group and won the Danish Cup.
Can Lind get his first goal of the new season?
The 22-year-old forward has scored a goal in Silkeborg's 3-1 loss to Molde in the Europa League qualifiers, but he failed to score in the first round of Superliga. Will he rectify this against Aalborg?
