- Competition: Denmark - Superliga
- Date: Monday, 24th, February 2025
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
- Venue: Energi Viborg Arena (Viborg)
Viborg will be looking to edge closer to the championship group when they host Silkeborg at Energi Arena on Monday night in matchweek 19 of the Danish Superliga.
Although Viborg looked sharp during their winter preparations, picking up four victories in six friendlies, their return to league action proved disastrous as Brondby ruthlessly exposed their vulnerabilities and handed them a humbling 4-1 loss. With this disappointing defeat, the team dressed in green and white find themselves lingering in eighth place on 21 points, but their ambitions of securing a top-six finish are not entirely out of reach, provided they can rediscover their rhythm and put together a strong run of results.
Silkeborg, on their part, delivered mixed displays during their preseason run, recording a W2-D2-L1 tally across five warm-up fixtures, but they failed to carry any real momentum into their 2025 league opener, suffering a frustrating 0-1 loss on home soil to Vejle. With their place in the Championship Round hanging by a thread, Kent Nielsen’s side faces mounting pressure, as they sit deadlocked on points with Nordsjaelland, the first team outside the cut-off, and with an additional game played, they are at risk of surrendering their advantage and tumbling into the lower section of the standings.
Viborg vs Silkeborg IF Betting Tips : VIBORG TO WIN
As two sides looking to recover from recent setbacks prepare to lock horns, the contest appears finely balanced, yet Viborg will be well aware that this fixture presents a pivotal chance to breathe new life into their pursuit of a top-six finish against direct rivals Silkeborg, making it likely that the home team will step up and capitalize on the moment. Despite their difficulties in securing points away from home, Viborg have demonstrated far greater stability and confidence in front of their own supporters, having turned four of their first eight home outings into wins and determined to make full use of their home advantage when it matters most. Putting aside their cup triumphs away from home, Silkeborg have not managed a league victory on the road since late August, enduring a five-match winless streak in Superliga travels since then (D4 L1), which makes it evident that something is not clicking for them whenever they step onto opposition turf. Viborg will have an extra boost going into this fixture, having won their previous two home meetings with Silkeborg, and given the visitors’ persistent troubles away from home this season, the stage seems set for the home side to clinch their fifth victory on familiar turf.

Silkeborg IF team news
Having sat out his team’s first fixture of 2025 for unspecified reasons, Pedro Ganchas remains a question mark for the upcoming clash with Viborg.
Dissatisfied with his team's overall performance in the 0-1 loss to Vejle, particularly the attack that generated just 0.54 xG, head coach Kent Nielsen may consider making changes in the final third.
