After last year's relegation from the first league, Silkeborg wants to return to the company of the best this year. Thanks to their excellent results and even better game, they are currently in second place in the table with one point behind the leading team. Although the second position on the table guarantees their entry into the first league, Silkeborg is not a team that will allow itself to possibly question a good placement. Today, they are playing against the first runner-up in the table, Esbjerg, and by winning this match, they would most likely eliminate all dilemmas by the end of the championship, considering that they have 4 rounds left after that. There are really many reasons for optimism in their team, especially when they play at home. In the last 6 matches, they managed to record the same number of victories, with a fantastic defense that did not allow the opponent a single goal. What is very commendable is that they won all those 6 games with a minimum of two goals difference. In general, they are the team that shows the best football in the league, and this is confirmed by the fact that in 2021 they have no defeats. They confirmed their quality with a victory against the currently leading team in the table with a sure 2-0. 

The guests enter this match after winning three points from the previous round, but it should be noted that these points were won against the last-placed team in the table, after a very difficult 1-0 victory. Due to slightly worse away games after the division of the championship, they are on, as it seems, unattainable 7 points behind the position that leads to the first rank. Of the last 5 away games, as many as 3 have suffered defeats, and what is especially worrying is the fact that they failed to score a single goal in those defeats. A team that wants to fight for the highest ranking, we really can't afford such things. It is this detail that makes the difference between these two teams, Silkeborg is a team that has a clear goal this season and takes every game as seriously as possible, and I really believe that this will be the case in today's game. 

I expect that the home team will go offensively towards the home team's goal from the first minute and that they will continue their fantastic series of results.
