5 years ago 920

Silkeborg will be playing host to Aalborg at JYSK Park on Monday looking for a victory that could potentially help them leapfrog their visitors in the Superliga standings.

Having picked up 43 points from their 27 matches played, the hosts are currently sitting fourth in the table, just a point behind their Monday’s visitors and three points ahead of fifth-placed Brondby.

Kent Nielsen’s side claimed a 2-1 victory in last meeting betweem the two sides at Aalborg Portland Park on April 24, which has seen their winning streak extend to four games.

Sebastian Jorgensen put the hosts ahead in the fifth minute before Rasmus Thelander scored in the eighth minute for Aalborg to restore parity. Anders Klynge then got his name on the scoresheet in the 51st minute to secure the victory for Silkeborg.

Prior to that, Silkeborg had claimed three vitories in a row, defeating both Brondby and FC Copenhagen at JYSK Park before beating Randers on the road. They now aim to claim back-to-back victory over Monday’s visitors following last Sunday’s away win.

Silkeborg have picked up four wins, four draws and three losses this season in 11 Superliga contest on their home turf.

The influence of Nicklas Helenius has been important for Silkeborg this season, with the striker leading the club with 16 goals – which is the most in the league – five of which have been the critical first of the match.

Meanwhile, Aalborg enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 defeat against their Monday’s opponents at the Aalborg Portland Park last Sunday, which made it two league defeats on the bounce.

De Rode will be looking for their first league win in games between the two sides since February 2020, and will take encouragement from their one-points caution over their hosts in the Superliga standings.
