What we said beforehand
Lyngby host Silkeborg at their home ground in the Superliga on 18 September 2026. Both clubs sit in the bottom half of the table, with Lyngby in ninth place on seven points after eight games and Silkeborg just below them in tenth, also on seven points. The two teams are only a single place apart and both are in the relegation zone, while OB sit one spot above Lyngby with a point more and AGF sit three points behind Silkeborg. A win for either side could lift them out of the danger zone, but a draw will keep the status quo and leave the battle for survival to the final weeks.
Lyngby have not been able to turn their form into wins lately. In their last eight matches they have won two, drawn four and lost two. The most recent results are a 1-1 draw with Sønderjyske at home, another 1-1 draw with the same opponents at home, a 2-0 away win over VSK Aarhus, a 2-0 away win over Viborg, a 1-1 home draw with Odense and a 2-1 away loss to Horsens. The last four games at home have all ended in draws, so they have not won at their own ground in that span. In those eight games Lyngby have scored nine goals and let in eight, keeping two clean sheets and failing to find the net once. Five of the matches featured both sides scoring, while only one saw three or more goals.
Silkeborg’s recent run has been equally uneven. Over their last eight fixtures they have recorded one win, four draws and three defeats. Their newest results are a 1-1 home draw with Viborg, a 2-2 away draw with Aarhus, a 1-1 home draw with Midtjylland, a 3-1 away loss to Brondby, a 1-0 away loss to Nordsjaelland and a 1-0 home win over Odense. The side have not won on the road in their last four trips, drawing twice and losing twice. In total they have scored eight goals and conceded twelve, keeping one clean sheet and also failing to score once. Six of those games saw both teams on the scoresheet and three contained three or more goals.
When the two clubs meet, the games have usually been low-scoring affairs. In the five previous meetings Lyngby have won three times, Silkeborg once and one match ended in a draw. The average number of goals in those encounters is 2.4. The most recent meeting was a 2-0 victory for Lyngby on 27 April 2025, showing that Lyngby can keep a clean sheet against this opponent. Given the recent patterns of draws and modest goal totals, we expect another tight contest with few chances for many goals.
Our pick is Lyngby to score two or fewer goals. We think Lyngby will find the net once or not at all, which matches our expectation of about 1.5 goals for them. The price of 1.37 is longer than what we feel the game deserves, so it looks attractive. We see an 81 % chance that the bet will be right. For it to go wrong Lyngby would need to score three or more, which would require a sudden burst of attacking firepower that has not been shown in their recent games. If they stay within the pattern of one-goal or goalless performances, the bet should pay off.
