A place in the third qualifying round of the Europa League will be at stake when Danish side Silkeborg play host to Molde on Thursday evening.
Silkeborg are taking part in the Europa League for only the second time in their history. The Danes got eliminated in the playoffs round in the previous occasion and are unlikely to reach round three this time. Kent Nielsen's side lost the first leg of this tie 3-1 in Norway and couldn't respond in the league last time as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to AaB.
Molde meanwhile competed in the Europa League Groupstage last season. After recording two wins and a draw from six games, the Norwegians finished third and got relegated to the Conference League where they reached the round of 16.
Silkeborg vs Molde Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Entertainment has been the major headline in the recent games of Silkeborg. Over the course of the last seven games of the Danes’, bets on over 2.5 goals were won, with five of those fixtures producing four goals or more.
Molde are favorites to register another win and that's not a surprise give their display in the first leg, but the visitors can improve on their defence. The Norwegians are currently on a run of three consecutive games without a clean sheet and two of those encounters produced at least four goals.
The recent games of Molde in Europe were also very entertaining. Each of the seven produced three or more goals and I fancy a similar outcome on Thursday evening.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Silkeborg vs Molde prediction: 2-2

Silkeborg team news
Mark Brink received a red card in stoppage time of the defeat to AaB last time out, but that will not result in a suspension in Europe.
Pelle Mattsson is a doubt for Thursday's game after lasting only 26 minutes in that game and Anders Klynge could drop to the bench after his not so good performance.
