• Isak Jensen (FWD): 6 goals; emerging finisher in attack.

• Lucas Lund Pedersen (GK): 7 clean sheets; anchors a solid home defense.

Silkeborg IF

• Tonni Adamsen (FWD): 8 goals in 2024/25; Silkeborg’s top scorer and primary threat.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Viborg FF’s balanced approach (1.42 goals per game) will test Silkeborg IF’s inconsistent defense (1.42 goals conceded per game). Vester’s creativity and Jensen’s finishing could exploit Silkeborg’s away backline (1.38 goals conceded per game), which has been leaky against stronger sides. Silkeborg’s attacking style (1.31 goals per game) relies on Adamsen’s finishing and Klynge’s flair, challenging Viborg’s defense (1.27 goals conceded per game). Viborg’s Daniel Anyembe (doubtful, ankle) and Silkeborg’s Oliver Sonne (out, hamstring) may affect lineups, with Viborg’s 7,300-strong home crowd at Energi Viborg Arena adding pressure.
