- Competition: Superliga
- Date: Sunday, 20th July, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: Brøndby Stadion (Brondby)
After around a two-month break, the Danish Superliga is set for a restart. In the first round, the 11-time Superliga winner, Brøndby, will face off against a one-time Superliga winner, Silkeborg IF, at Brøndby Stadion in Brøndby.
Last year, Brondby finished third and secured European Qualifiers for the third time in the last four years. After the Silkeborg match, the popular "Boys from Vestegnen" will have a really important game in the second round of the Europa Conference League against HB Torshavn. During the preseason, it seems Brondby got worse, but have done great in friendlies and have some reasons to be optimistic about their season.
Silkeborg finished the last season as the best team in the Relegation Group, ultimately finishing seventh overall. However, considering they won the ECL Playoffs, the "SIF" secured European Qualifiers and will face off against KA Akureyri after the Brondby match. Last season, SIF were close to winning the Cup as well, but eventually lost to FC Copenhagen 3:0 in the Finals.
Brondby vs Silkeborg pick: BTTS - YES
In the preseason, Brondby did well, winning three and drawing once in four matches. They scored at least a goal in all of those matches against solid competition - Hertha Berlin, LASK, Vejle, and Hvidovre IF. They were also really good for this bet at the end of the previous season, as both teams scored in the last four games and in 16 of the previous 20 matches - 80%.
Meanwhile, both teams scored in three of Silkeborg's four preseason games. Last year, they were very efficient, scoring a total of 56 goals in 32 matches - 1.75 per game, so it is fair to expect they would continue with solid offensive performances.
Moreover, both teams scored in the last four h2h games with an average of 4.75 goals per game! Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, we expect another high-scoring game with both teams scoring.

Silkeborg team news
The club hasn't been particularly active in the transfer period. Only two players joined the team (Leonel Montano and Rami Al Hajj), while just Anders Klynge left the team. Also, Oscar Fuglsang retired from professional football at a really young age (23). However, Fuglsang wasn't an important part of the rotation, and his departure isn't really a factor.
