Preview: Aalborg BK vs. Silkeborg - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Danish Superliga clash between Aalborg BK and Silkeborg, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

The second round of matches in the 2024 Danish Superliga campaign pits Aalborg BK against Silkeborg at the Aalborg Portland Park on Sunday.

Both teams came away empty-handed from their respective last outings and now go in search of a pick-me-up this weekend.

Silkeborg suffered a huge blow in their quest to qualify for the Europa League following a 3-1 defeat against Molde in Thursday's meeting at Aker Stadion.

Kent Nielsen's men found themselves trailing within the opening two minutes to Markus Kaasa's strike but managed to draw level through Alexander Lind before strikes from Magnus Eikrem and Kristian Eriksen decided the clash.

This came off the back of a 1-0 triumph over Sonderjyske in SIF's Superliga curtain-raiser, and they currently sit fourth in the standings.

With the second leg of their European qualifier to come after Sunday's affair, the visitors could certainly do with a dominant display here before they attempt to overturn a two-goal deficit four days later.

Aalborg were on the receiving end of a comprehensive 3-0 loss to Nordsjaelland when the teams locked horns at Right to Dream Park on Friday.

Menno van Dam's men headed into the locker room with a mountain to climb having gone behind to strikes from Marcus Ingvartsen and Peter Ankersen, after which Mads Hansen sealed the deal two minutes from time.

As a result, De Bolchestribede are bottom of the Danish Superliga table at the moment, albeit only on goal difference.

Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have only lost one of the last 11 editions of this fixture across all competitions.

Off the back of a first defeat on home turf since May in their most recent home outing, Sunday's visitors will be eager to return to winning ways in front of what is set to be an expectant home crowd.

Team News

Aalborg's John Iredale had an official debut to forget last time out as he was hooked off at half time, and the forward could have to make do with a place on the bench in this one.

Jubril Adedeji is still unavailable for the home side having not made an appearance since mid-May due to injury.

Long-term absentee for Silkeborg Alexander Busch is still a considerable way off making his return to action from an injury he picked up earlier this year.

Defender Andreas Poulsen will have some familiar faces in the opposition camp as he takes to the field for the away side having previously spent two years at Aalborg.


Aalborg BK possible starting lineup:
Muller; Arnorsson, Otoa, Kramer, Molgaard; Widell, Hojholt, Davidsen; Ross, John, Jorgensen

Silkeborg possible starting lineup:
Larsen; Ostrom, Rodin, Ganchas, Poulsen; Mattsson, Brink, Larsen; Adamsen, Orazov, Lind



SM words green background

We say: Aalborg BK 2-2 Silkeborg

Goals have been a constant feature of this fixture and we expect this weekend's game to follow suit. That said, we are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.
