While OB may hold a slight historical advantage in terms of overall victories, Silkeborg have dominated this fixture in recent years, going unbeaten in their last seven meetings with this opponent across all competitions and winning half of those encounters.
Silkeborg team overview
After ending their pre-season campaign on a strong note, Silkeborg have endured a disappointing start to the new league season, as they remain without a victory after the opening two rounds, drawing 1-1 with Randers before suffering a painful 3-1 defeat away to FC Copenhagen.
The SIF have shown some weaknesses in front of goal, but their defensive frailties have been an even greater concern, making a positive result in front of their home supporters on Monday an absolute priority. Encouragingly, they can draw confidence from a seven-match unbeaten run against OB.
However, if Morten Dahm Kjaergaard's side are to avoid another setback in Matchday 3, they will need to tighten up considerably at the back, having managed just one clean sheet across their last 11 matches in all competitions.
On the positive side, Silkeborg IF have no major injury concerns heading into the contest and should be able to field a strong starting XI, with the hosts determined to end their winless run and give their supporters something to celebrate.

Odense team overview
By contrast, Odense Boldklub have made a mixed start to the new season, collecting one win and one defeat from their opening two matches, although the club have already made a major change in the dugout as they look to push back towards the upper reaches of the table.
Alexander Zorniger was dismissed following a 1-0 defeat to Viborg on the opening day, with his compatriot Martin Lanig immediately restoring some momentum by guiding the side to a 1-0 victory over Sonderjyske. However, OB will enter Matchday 3 with another new face on the touchline, having appointed Thomas Thomasberg as their new head coach.
The De Stribede will need to improve their away record if they are to challenge higher up the standings, having won just four of their 16 away matches last season. Their recent record is even more concerning, with seven defeats suffered across their last 10 trips on the road.
The visitors arrive in Silkeborg with a relatively healthy squad, having avoided any fresh injury concerns during the opening two rounds. Long-term absentee William Martin remains sidelined, while forward Jay-Roy Grot continues his recovery from injury.

Prediction
Monday’s fixture promises an intriguing tactical battle, with Silkeborg looking to make the most of their artificial surface and quick, fluid style of football. Their impressive record against OB should give the hosts added confidence, and despite their failure to win any of their opening league matches, they appear capable of turning that run around here.
Odense have shown plenty of character and enter this contest with a mixed record, while their performance in the previous round demonstrated their ability to compete under pressure. However, a trip to a points-hungry Silkeborg represents a considerably tougher challenge. Although the visitors could cause problems through Arp, Silkeborg’s greater familiarity with their system and strong head-to-head record should ultimately prove decisive and see the hosts claim their first three points of the season.
Three Reasons we expect AH1 (0)
- Silkeborg are unbeaten in their last four meetings with OB, winning three of those encounters.
- Odense have suffered seven defeats in their previous 11 away matches.
- Odense have scored just one goal in their last three away fixtures.
