These teams met just around a month ago when we saw a 3:3 draw in Copenhagen. However, FC Copenhagen have been a much better team and deserved a win. They had 3.41 xG, 60% ball possession, and 18 goal attempts, compared to Silkeborg's seven.
In the previous ten h2h games, FC Copenhagen were, expectedly, a much better team, winning seven games, while the remaining three matches resulted in draws.
Regarding the number of goals, eight out of the last ten h2h games finished with three or more goals, while both teams scored on four occasions.
Silkeborg team overview
Silkeborg have been a mid-table team in recent seasons. Last year, they had a good year, finishing 7th and securing the Conference League Qualifiers. They also managed to reach the Cup finals, but lost to FC Copenhagen.
Unfortunately, Silkeborg aren't doing a great job this season. They failed to come out of the ECL Qualifiers and are in 11th place (out of 12 teams) with 11 points from 11 rounds. That is more than 0.5 points per game, which is fewer than last year.

FC Copenhagen team overview
FC Copenhagen, Denmark's most successful club, enters this season on the back of a domestic double last year. This year's goal remains the same: to win it all in the domestic competitions and hopefully be competitive in the Champions League.
However, after a very good start, it seems the Lions are slowing down and are in a relatively poor form, at least by their standards. Right now, they are in 3rd place with 21 points after 11 rounds - five points away from the top spot. And in the Champions League, after securing a nice 2:2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, they disappointed vs Qarabag, losing 2:0. That was one of the rare matches where they would be the favorite in the CL, and they missed the chance for three points. So, we can safely say the Lions' momentum isn't the greatest.

Prediction
Silkeborg have been excellent for this type of bet as they went over 2.5 goals in five out of the last six games - 83.3%. Their defense is the second-worst in the league and has massive problems against good teams. Against the top four teams - Aarhus, Midtjylland, FC Copenhagen, and Brondby- they allowed three or more goals every time, and we doubt that will change here.
Meanwhile, FC Copenhagen almost exclusively played high-scoring games on the road. In six Superliga rounds, they went over five times - 83.3%.
Additionally, we saw six goals in the previous h2h game only a month ago (3:3). Considering all the above, we firmly believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Superliga tie.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Silkeborg went over 2.5 goals in five out of the last six games
- Silkeborg allowed three or more goals against the top four teams - Aarhus, FC Copenhagen, Midtjylland, and Brondby
- FC Copenhagen went over 2.5 goals in five out of six road Superliga games
- The last h2h game ended as a 3:3 draw
