AaB Aalborg vs Silkeborg IF Best odds and tips

Silkeborg IF will travel to Aalborg on Sunday to face a side they have beaten in their last two meetings, but this fixture is unlikely to be a foregone conclusion. Silkeborg have won their last two matches in a row, beating Brondby 2-1 and SonderjyskE 1-0, but both games were at home and they may not find things as easy on the road against a team that they hammered 4-0 at home in the Superliga 2024/2025 three weeks ago. Kristoffer Wichmann took over as AaB Aalborg manager on 25th April 2025 and has yet to see his side return to winning ways. They have failed to win or draw in their last two home games and are in the midst of a rough patch in which they have lost four and drawn one of their last five.

AaB are a team built around a compact defence and well-drilled, structured play in transition, which can lead to some pretty positive football when they are in possession. Wichmann has tweaked the system, but they have played in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation this season and are unlikely to change much for the visit of the table-topping Silkeborg. Kent Nielsen’s side have played a dynamic, possession-based style of football since he took over in June 2019. They like to use short combinations and fluid movement in their 4-3-3 system to create chances. Anders Klynge has been a livewire for them in the last five, providing three assists from the last six goals scored by the club, while Tonni Adamsen has also been a threat, scoring two of the last five.

Silkeborg are the slight favourites at 2.36, but AaB are not far behind at 2.85 and the draw is available at 3.70, which looks a bit high for a game where there is no simmering rivalry but plenty to play for with the visitors pushing for Europe and the hosts battling to avoid the drop. Silkeborg are the form team and have dominated this fixture in the last two meetings, so we will take them to edge it. AaB have scored an average of 1.8 goals per game at home to Silkeborg, who have scored an average of 1.2 as away from home, so goals at both ends are likely. Callum McCowatt is the top scorer for Silkeborg with three goals in eight Superliga games this season, while Kasper Joergensen leads the way for AaB with two in eight. Both teams to score looks a good play here, given AaB have conceded an average of 2.07 goals per game in Superliga 2024/2025 – 31 in total.
