FW Predictions for Midtjylland vs Silkeborg
Both of these teams go in search of their first win of the season after their opening Superliga games ended in stalemates. Midtjylland are the favourites to secure all 3pts on Friday night but must negotiate a midweek Champions League qualifier against Larnaca before they can turn their full attention to Silkeborg.

Midtjylland to Win
Midtjylland have an excellent recent record against Silkeborg and that is the main reason we are backing the hosts to win on Friday. Midtjylland have won each of their last five games against Silkeborg, including a 4-1 win away and a 3-2 win at home last season. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last four home games, picking up three wins and a draw, while Silkeborg have lost two of their last five matches in all competitions.
Both Teams to Score
There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch when Midtjylland play host to Silkeborg this Friday, as each of the last two meetings between the pair ended the very same way. Both teams have also scored in five of Midtjylland's last six competitive and non-competitive matches, while Silkeborg have found the back of the net in each of their last five games and three of those saw both teams score.

Midtjylland backed to secure first league win of the season
Midtjylland had the home advantage against Randers last time out but the first half between the pair failed to produce a single goal. Midtjylland pushed for the opening goal early in the second half and got it in the 54th-minute via Isaksen. However, just 6-minutes later Andersson equalised for Randers and the scoreline ended in a 1-1 draw.
Midtjylland Predicted Lineup – Ólafsson, Sviatchenko, Dalsgaard, Andersson,Thychosen, Paulinho, Dreyer, Evander, Isaksen, Chilufya & Onyedika
Silkeborg had to come from two goals down away at Lyngby to rescue a point. The home side took the lead late in the first half and then early in the second forty-five they were awarded a penalty which was coolly converted. However, Silkeborg responded well and pulled a goal back 4-minutes later through Helenius and the very same player made it 2-2 with 12-minutes left on the clock.
Silkeborg Predicted Lineup – Larsen, Salquist, Felix, Engel, Carstensen, Gojani, Brink, Þórðarson, Jørgensen, Klynge & Helenius
