Silkeborg host Molde at JYSK Park on Thursday (August 1) in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. The hosts had their struggles in the Danish Superliga last season but clinched the domestic cup to secure a spot in the European qualifiers.
They lost 2-1 to Aalborg in their last league outing, finding themselves two goals down before Oliver Sonne netted a late consolation. Molde, meanwhile, are midway through their Eliteserien campaign as they turn their attention to continental football after struggling in the league recently.
Molde picked up 3-1 win over Silkeborg in the first leg last week. Three different players got on the scoresheet, including veteran striker Magnus Wolf Eikrem. MFK will look to avoid defeat this week as they target a return to the Europa League group stage.
