Head to Head

Last week Molde beat Silkeborg 3-1 at home in what was their only previous encounter.

Silkeborg Form

Silkeborg have been inconsistent early in the 2024/25 season. The Danish outfit have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions.

A 4-1 friendly defeat to Vendsyssel was followed by a Superliga win over SønderjyskE (1-0). SIF then lost their next two at Molde (3-1) and AaB (2-1).

Silikeborg conceded either side of halftime against AaB and Oliver Sonne’s last-minute goal proved to be a consolation.

Erling Moe’s outfit had chances against Viking with 14 shots and five on target. Molde couldn't find the breakthrough and conceded the winner in the second half.
