On Fri Jul 22nd, in week 2, Midtjylland and Silkeborg will play a match in Herning in a clash of these two evenly matched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Midtjylland recorded a 1-1 draw against Randers. Gustav Isaksen scored the first goal for Midtjylland in the 54th minute, then Adam Andersson tied it up for Randers in the 60th minute earning them at least the one point. Midtjylland looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 0 of their last 10, while 6th placed Silkeborg is fresh off their 2-2 draw against Lyngby. Kristian Riis scored the first goal for Lyngby in the 43rd minute, then Mathias Kristensen added another in the 51st minute from the penalty spot. Silkeborg looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Midtjylland won the head to head battle with 4 wins.
Nicklas Helenius has been the most effective weapon for Silkeborg lately. The Danish attacker has netted three goals in his last five matches. Midtjylland is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Mads Thychosen and Evander each having 2 goals in their last 5.
