The Silkeborg team, fresh from defeating their opponents 5-0 last week, will try to secure another three points in the Europa Conference League with a kickoff at 10 pm.
FCSB is coming into the game from a two-goal win over CSMS Iași in Liga 1. That victory came after they had lost heavily to Silkeborg in Europa League, with the hosts going down 5-0 in Denmark.
It was a disappointing result for FCSB, but they responded perfectly with a 2-0 win in Liga 1. Goals from Joyskim Dawa and Florinel Coman were enough to secure that result, and the improved defensive performance is something FCSB will be looking to bring on Thursday.
The visitors are only a point behind Anderlecht, who they have to play on the final matchday. With a victory potentially putting them above if the other result in the group goes their way, Silkeborg will go into this match full of confidence.
While they were held to a 1-1 draw at the weekend in the Danish Superliga, even in that match, they proved they have fighting spirit as they came from behind in the 83rd minute thanks to Tonni Adamsen.
The Danish club Silkeborg has scored seven times across the three Europa Conference League games, and their attacking prowess could be the difference.

FCSB Team News
The hosts will be looking to improve their performance last time out, and a new 4-3-2 formation could be used here. This would see Coman come into the team, and after he scored in that victory, he could provide some attacking strength.
Silkeborg Team News
Adamsen was used as a substitute in Silekborg’s most recent match, but he found the back of the net, making him an option for this match. Larsen overcame an injury concern to feature in Silekborg’s last game, and with two clean sheets in a row, he will be featured again between the posts.
