- Competition: Conference League qualification
- Date: Wednesday, 23rd July 2025
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Jysk Park (Silkeborg)
Last season, Silkeborg played in the relegation group of the Danish Superliga, but they found a place in the Conference League qualifications through the playoffs. In the 2025/25 season, Silkeborg should have another mid-table finish. However, after a terrible preseason and three defeats in four matches, the team from Jysk Park started badly in the national competition, too, with a 3-0 defeat on the road against Brondby. The performance at Jysk Park was well below expectations, and fans can only hope that such a disappointing display will serve as a much-needed wake-up call for the team moving forward.
KA Akureyri are terrible in 2025. They collected only 18 points in 16 matches in the Icelandic national league and are in danger of relegation if something doesn't change in the upcoming months. After terrible form in June, in which KA Akureyri won only one point in four matches, July brought better performances for Hallgrimur Jonasson's team with two wins in three matches. In the previous game, KA Akureyri won 2-0 at home against Akranes. However, the victory wasn't comfortable as the guests created xG of 1.73 and surely deserved to score at least once.
Silkeborg vs KA Akureyri pick: Over 3.5 goals
Both these teams are terrible defensively. Silkeborg allowed 13 goals in the last five matches, including friendlies, while KA Akureyri conceded 11 goals in the previous four games. We should expect at least four goals in the upcoming clash in Silkeborg.
Silkeborg team news
Silkeborg have some injury problems ahead of the game against KA Akureyri. Younes Bakiz, Alexander Madsen, and Pontus Rodin are injured and will not play on Wednesday. After a terrible performance against Brondby, the head coach, Kent Nielsen, might change part of the lineup for the game against KA Akureyri.
