Silkeborg vs Molde Prediction - Europa League 2024
In the first leg, the Danish team leveraged their home advantage with a 3-1 victory. This result means Molde needs a win, draw, or even a minimal loss to stay in contention. For Silkeborg to overturn the situation, they need a victory by three or more goals. A win by two goals would trigger a 30-minute overtime. If the tie persists after overtime, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout.
Silkeborg and Molde are currently in the second phase of the four-stage selection process for the 2024/2025 Europa League. The winner of this encounter will face the victor of the match between Kilmarnock from Scotland and Cercle Brugge from Belgium in the semifinals. The prediction favors a Silkeborg victory for this Thursday’s second leg of the quarterfinal qualifiers. For the over/under goals market, the recommendation is over 2.5 goals.
