- Competition: Superliga
- Date: Monday, 4th November, 2024
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
- Venue: Parken Stadium (Copenhagen)
After successfully advancing to the Landspokal 1/4 Finals, FC Copenhagen and Silkeborg will face off against each other at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.
Last year FC Copenhagen failed to win their 16th league title after winning just one point during the last three rounds. This year, the Lions are doing well and are, as always, one of the title candidates. Right now, they are in 2nd place, just two away from the top spot. Since the first-placed Midtjylland will have a difficult game against Brondby, a potential win over Silkeborg might secure them the top spot. However, in contrast to their good performances in the domestic competitions, FC Copenhagen are struggling as they won just one point in the first two games.
Silkeborg secured the Championship Group last year and are on the right path to do it once again. Right now, they are in 5th place with 21 points in 13 rounds but still very close to the relegation Group, considering that the 7th-placed Nordsjaelland are just two points away. Still, their results in the recent games could have been better as they drew six games in a row in the Superliga.
FC Copenhagen vs Silkeborg pick: Over 2.5 goals
FC Copenhagen have mostly played high-scoring games recently. They were over 2.5 goals in five out of seven games - 71.4%. Generally, the Lions look good offensively, especially at home, where they scored at least one goal in all ten games and scored two or more on six occasions.
Silkeborg had mixed results lately. However, they are scoring pretty regularly, and with 25 scored goals in 13 rounds (1.92 per game), they are the third-best offensive team in the league. So, we believe they could score a goal or a couple of them even against FC Copenhagen.
In the first h2h game of the season, we saw a 2:2 draw. Additionally, four out of the last five h2h games finished with three or more goals. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, an over 2.5 goals bet should be the best option for this Superliga tie.

FC Copenhagen team news
In the previous game against Sonderjyske, central defender Gabriel Pereira suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 62 minutes. Considering he started in nine out of ten Superliuga games, his absence will be a massive factor in this match.
Besides Pereira, the players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Roony Bardghji, Nicolai Boilesen, Rasmus Falk, and Birger Meling.

Silkeborg team news
Coach Kent Nielsen said they would heavily rotate the squad for the Cup game against Holbaek. However, that was not really the case, as he only changed three starters and they expectedly easily won (6:0).
The team should have no new injuries, but Anders Klynge, Alexander Madsen, and Pontus Rodin, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined.
