Brondby vs Silkeborg IF Predictions

Brondby have a Europa League qualifying match to negotiate before they can fully concentrate on Sunday’s opening game of the new Superliga season at home to newly-promoted Silkeborg. The visitors have enjoyed pre-season and will be hoping to take advantage of their hosts midweek trip to Finland to get their return to the top flight off to the perfect start.

Brondby are yet to win in pre-season following defeats to Lech Poznan and Union Berlin and the draw with Wisla Plock, but head into Thursday’s 1st leg against Inter Turku as the favourites to win. Silkeborg have won all of their three friendlies since earning promotion back to the Superliga last season, beating Vejle 3-1, Vendsyssel 3-0, and Trelleborg 2-1, so confidence is bound to be high in the visitors camp.

The head to head record between these two clubs, especially over the last few years, and the performances of both teams since the end of last season suggests we will see both teams score and a Brondby victory on Sunday. Brondby have won their last eight matches against Silkeborg and the last four encounters between the two clubs have seen both teams score. Both teams also scored in four of Brondby’s and four of Silkeborg’s last six matches, which is why we’re backing a 3-2 win for Brondby this weekend.

Kamil Wilczek had a great season for Brondby last time out, scoring 21 goals on his way to finishing third in the Superliga scoring charts, while Ronnie Schwartz top the scoring charts for Silkeborg with 17 goals and played a huge role in teh clubs promotion. We’re confident that Brondby will win and both teams will score on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2. Brondby might not have performed as well as their guests during pre-season but the hosts have a better squad and should be able to outscore Silkeborg in what we are expecting to be an end to end and action-packed ninety minutes.
