- Head-to-head: Fredericia have won 2, Silkeborg 1 and drawn 1 of their last 4 meetings, the last encounter ended 2-2 in Silkeborg.
- Fredericia form: Fredericia are winless in their last 5 Superliga Relegation Group 2026 games (D3, L2), losing 0-2 at home to OB and 2-0 away to Vejle Boldklub.
- Silkeborg form: Silkeborg IF have won 3 of their last 5 Superliga Relegation Group 2026 fixtures, drawing 1 and losing 1, winning 3-2 away to OB and losing 0-4 at home to FC Koebenhavn.
Silkeborg’s superior form should see the visitors through
Away form
Silkeborg IF have a better away record than at home in Superliga Relegation Group 2026 this season, winning 5, drawing 2 and losing 8 away. They have scored 22 goals in 15 away games, which is very good, but Fredericia will offer a very different test to anything the White Crows have faced on the road this year.
Fredericia approach
The hosts are pragmatic and their tactics are based around the phases of the game and situations that their opponents are putting them into. Michael Hansen, who has been in charge since August 2020, sets his team up to be able to adapt and exploit set-pieces to gain space to make a run or to open up an opponent’s defence in the second half.
They have had a lean spell, going winless in their last 5 games, but Friday Etim and Jonatan Lindekilde have been performing well. Etim, who has 4 goals in 9 games in the Superliga Relegation Group 2026, is Fredericia’s main goal threat, while Lindekilde has scored 3 of their last 6 goals in his last 5 games.
This relegation battle could go all the way to the end
The odds of 2.14 for Fredericia are a little short on paper, given that Silkeborg IF are 3.02 and the draw is 3.72, but the bookies are in favour of the home side on this occasion. SIF are in better form and have a superior away record, however, the hosts are playing better at home and have won 2 of the last 4 meetings with their guests.
The last time they met was a 2-2 draw in Silkeborg, and SIF have failed to win on their last 2 trips to Fredericia.
Kent Nielsen’s men are possession-based, they like to keep the ball and play a short-passing game, which they use to control the tempo. Their midfield shapes up tightly in pattern-based play, designed to frustrate and probe for openings, with their top scorer Tonni Adamsen in the lead.
Fredericia and Silkeborg are in a relegation battle, but this will be a chess match of possession vs. pragmatism. With both teams to score at 1.43 and 2 teams playing for survival, look for attacking soccer and goals in this game.
- Adamsen has 6 goals in 9 in the relegation group, including 3 in his last 5.
- Callum McCowatt has been in excellent form, however, providing 3 assists in the last 5 matches.
- Etim, who has 4 goals in 9 games in the Superliga Relegation Group 2026, is Fredericia’s main goal threat, while Lindekilde has scored 3 of their last 6 goals in his last 5 games.
