Silkeborg will be looking to keep alive their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Danish top flight on Wednesday night.
The hosts began the play-offs with a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Sonderjyske at Haderslev Fodboldstadion. Kent Nielsen's men responded with a 2-1 win over Lyngby on the second Matchday, but they suffered another setback against Viborg last weekend.
Aalborg, meanwhile, are still without a win in the play-offs, having drawn two and lost one of their three matches so far. They surrendered an early lead in their last outing and it was the second match in a row in which they failed to secure maximum points despite scoring first.
Silkeborg vs Aalborg Betting Tips: Both teams to score
One of the main reasons why Silkeborg are in the relegation battle is their defence. De Røde have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine games and conceded exactly two goals in three of their last four. Bets on btts - Yes have won six of their last seven games.
AaB Aalborg have one of the worst defences in the Danish top flight this season, with the reds giving away an average of two goals per game and failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four outings.
Another reason to expect goals in this fixture is that meetings between Silkeborg and Aalborg have a history of being entertaining. An average of three goals per game were scored in the last eight meetings between the two teams and I expect a similar result this week.

Aalborg team news
Aalborg head coach Menno van Dam will be without the services of Nicklas Helenius on Wednesday due to injury.
Nicklas is nursing a calf injury that has kept him out since February with a calf injury, but the forward is the visitors' only absentee for the trip to JYSK Park.
