In the first leg of the Landspokal Cup quarter-final, 1st Division team SonderjyskE will welcome the favored Superliga team, Silkeborg IF.
After 20 rounds in the 1st Division, SonderjyskE haven't gained any ground in its attempt to return to Superliga after being relegated last season. Currently, they trail 13 points behind the 1st-placed Vejle and nine points behind the 2nd-placed Hvidovre IF. They need just one point in the next two games to secure the spot in the promotion group, but the promotion itself looks far away.
In the last match, they lost 2:1 against Hvidovre IF and significantly lowered their chances of gaining promotion.
Silkeborg IF are one point away from missing the playoff group. This season, they played in the Europa League qualifications and Europa Conference League group stage and did OK, almost making top 16 in the ECL.
Their goal this season is to make the continental competitions two times in a row, and they are close to it two rounds before the end of the regular season. They still have two challenging games ahead of them against Broendby and Midtjylland, who are just below Silkeborg in the standings. In addition, Midtjylland have two points less than Silkeborg but also played one less game.
After winning 2:1 against Norsjaelland, the best team in Denmark at the moment, Sikeborg will be full of confidence before the Cup game.
SonderjyskE vs Silkeborg IF pick: Over 2.5 goals
SonderjyskE averaged the third-most goals per game in the 1st Division (3.2) and were 14 times over 2.5 goals in the first 20 matches. At home, SonderjyskE mostly plays high-scoring games, and since they have to do well in the first leg, I expect them to play an open game from the start.
Silkeborg scored and conceded 30 goals in 20 Superliga matches this season. Silkeborg are an exciting team on the road and consistently plays high-scoring games. In the previous six games in all competitions, they were over 2.5 goals in five of them.
Since the winter break, both teams were two times over 2.5 goals in three matches.
