- The most common scoreline between the clubs is 2-1 in favor of Silkeborg (in 9 games).
- Silkeborg leads in winning the first half in 22% of matches, while Aarhus leads in 26% of matches.
Silkeborg - form analysis: inconsistent performances
"Silkeborg IF" crushed Fredericia 6-1 in the first cup semifinal and secured a 3-0 victory against Midtjylland in the last April league match. However, between these games, they had 2 draws and 3 losses, all without scoring. They also managed their first league win since October. Their ability to stay in the group of leaders was mainly due to a successful start, but they have struggled for months, particularly in league games, with their successes mainly coming in cup competitions - including eliminating Copenhagen in the quarterfinals. Their recent league match against Copenhagen ended in a disappointing 0-3 defeat.
Aarhus - form analysis: prolonged series of setbacks
"The Whites" played well before the long winter break and also won twice in a row after the league resumed in March, including a victory against Silkeborg. However, they then experienced a series of entertaining draws followed by defeats, and their hopes of finishing in the top 3 were dashed, especially after losing 1-3 to Nordsjaelland at home in the last round. Interestingly, they defeated Nordsjaelland twice in the semifinals and previously eliminated Brondby.
