🏆 Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2025
📍 Venue: Brøndby Stadion, Brøndby
🕠 Kick-off: 17:30 (CET-2)
🛡️ Tournament: Landspokal Cup – Semi-finals
A place in the 2025 Landspokal Cup Final is on the line as Brøndby IF welcome Silkeborg IF to the Brøndby Stadion for an explosive semi-final showdown. Both teams are enjoying strong campaigns and are just one win away from the biggest domestic cup final in Denmark.
🔵 Brøndby: Confident, Clinical, and Ready
Brøndby have been a force to reckon with in 2025. Sitting near the top of the Superligaen Championship Group, they’ve turned the new year into a springboard for silverware. Under head coach Jesper Sørensen, the team has blended youthful energy with experienced leadership, especially at home, where they’ve gone unbeaten in 2025.
Their road to the semi-final was solid:
🟢 Beat FC Helsingør (4-0)
🟢 Narrow win over FC Nordsjælland (2-1)
🟢 Quarter-final victory over Viborg (3-1)
🔥 Key 2025 Players:
Ohi Omoijuanfo – 7 goals in all competitions in 2025
Nicolai Vallys – Creative engine with 5 assists in 2025
Sean Klaiber – Commanding in defense with 80% duel win rate
Brøndby are scoring consistently (2.1 goals per game in 2025) and concede very little at home.
🔴 Silkeborg: Giant Killers in Cup Form
Silkeborg might not be battling for the league title, but their 2025 cup run has been nothing short of impressive. Known for their possession-based style and fluid passing under coach Kent Nielsen, they’ve knocked out big names to get here.
Cup results in 2025:
🟢 Beat AGF (2-0)
🟢 Dominated SønderjyskE (3-1)
🟢 Shocked Midtjylland in quarters (2-1 away)
💫 Key 2025 Performers:
Alexander Lind – 6 goals in 2025, including 2 in the cup
Mark Brink – Midfield general with 87% pass accuracy
Tobias Salquist – Reliable leader in the backline
Silkeborg are not to be underestimated — they’ve scored in every match they’ve played in 2025 and carry real threat on the counter.
⚔️ Tactical Matchup
This semi-final is likely to be a tactical chess match. Brøndby will look to impose themselves physically, pressing high and creating overloads on the flanks. Silkeborg, on the other hand, will try to slow the pace and control the ball — they average 59% possession in 2025 matches.
If Brøndby’s wide men get space, Silkeborg’s full-backs could be overwhelmed. But if Silkeborg can bypass the first press, they could stretch the hosts and sneak through chances via Lind.
🧠 Predicted Lineups
Brøndby (4-3-3):
Mikkelsen – Klaiber, Alves, Cappis, Mensah – Greve, Radosevic, Vallys – Kvistgaarden, Omoijuanfo, Suzuki
Silkeborg (4-2-3-1):
Larsen – Sonne, Salquist, Felix, Engel – Brink, Klynge – Jørgensen, Thórdarson, Tengstedt – Lind
🔮 Match Prediction: Brøndby 2-1 Silkeborg
This is a tight match on paper, but Brøndby’s home advantage and cup pedigree could make the difference. Silkeborg will fight hard and could even take the lead, but Brøndby’s squad depth and firepower should see them through to the final — possibly even in extra time.

✅ Over 2.5 Goals – A high-scoring trend for both in 2025
✅ Ohi Omoijuanfo to Score Anytime – Brøndby’s top man in form
