The current holder of the trophy Silkeborg obviously thought that they were already in the final in the first match, after leading 3-0 at halftime. However, in the second half they allowed an equalizer for the final score of 3-3. Still, the chances to reach the final for the second consecutive time in their history remain. The championship is in the background and they are in seventh position, failing to beat the last-placed Vejle in the last two rounds.
Brondby showed character in the first match and they must do it again. The cup remains the main goal, especially after the 0-3 loss in the derby against Copenhagen over the weekend, which finally ended their title chances. Brondby has been unbeaten in their last eight matches against Silkeborg, but many of them ended in draws, including their three meetings this season.
Prediction: both teams to score, X2 double chance3-3, 2-2, 3-3 - these are the results of the three matches between them this season. So the conditions for goals in both nets seem to be present. After dropping out of the title race, Brondby must put in maximum effort in this cup semi-final and I think they won't lose it in regular time again.
