Silkeborg IF vs Brondby Betting Tips: BRONDBY TO WIN
The title race in the Danish Superliga hasn't been this crazy and tense for a long time, featuring a three-horse race between FC Copenhagen, Brondby, as well as Mittjylland, who hold control at the summit with two games remaining.
After tumbling from the top to a rather inconsequential fourth spot due to a tough 1-3 home loss against the reigning champions FC Copenhagen on May 12, Brondby swiftly made amends to their devoted fans by edging past Nordsjaelland 1-0 just three days later, reigniting their quest for the gold medal.
Positioned in the runner-up spot with a slim two-point deficit behind Midtjylland at the top, the Yellow-Blues realize they must be error-free in the final two tests to keep their title dreams alive, and it seems they won't have a hard time getting their tasks done properly, as the remaining matches see them facing off against the lowest-performing Silkeborg and Aarhus.
The first of these ending clashes comes on Monday against Silkeborg, and the boys from Vestegnen remain confident they will elave JYSK Park with all three points, buoyed by their recent fruitful H2H record versus SIF, whom they have beaten in three of the last four meetings, albeit the points were shared when they faced off against each other in the April's playoff fixture.
Ever since the playoffs began, Silkeborg has been aware that a fifth-place finish is the best they can hope for this term, and they stoked their hopes of securing that placement in their most recent outing, clinching a narrow 1-0 victory at Aarhus in a direct showdown, courtesy of Stefan Thordarson's solitary strike early in the second half.
Despite this, Kent Nielsen's team managed to secure a place in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers for the next season by winning the Landspokal Cup with a narrow victory over Aarhus on May 9, marking their first lifted trophy since as far back as 2001, so SIF enters the final two rounds unburdened, without excessive pursuit of the fifth spot.
Unburdened Silkeborg surely can make this an entertaining affair by finding the back of the net, but Brondby, who must win to keep their golden dream of the title alive, should demonstrate greater attacking sharpness than their rival to emerge victorious from this battle.

Young duo Alexander Busch and Frederik Carlsen have been out for a long time, dealing with their own injury problems and are unlikely to feature for the final two clashes of the season.
Head coach Kent Nielsen could field an identical side to the one that beat Aarhus 1-0 last time out, with Stefan Thordarson hoping to extend his goalscoring streak to three matches.

Conversely, Brondby continue to be without the services of defender Frederik Alves, with Suriname international Sean Klaiber the latest addition to the recovery room after being forced off the pitch just before the end of the first half in the 3-1 win over Copenhagen.
Japan's 22-year-old winger Yuito Suzuki is the most in-form of his counterparts, having scored a solitary winner against Nordsjaelland last time out to reach his sixth goal in his last nine games, assisting an impressive five times in the process.
