Copenhagen<\/a> will be looking to continue their winning start to the Danish Superliga season when they travel to Silkeborg<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The hosts currently sit sixth in the league, while the visitors are top after just one game.<\/p>\n

Match preview<\/p>\n

Silkeborg finished ninth in the Superliga last season and have entered a new era under manager\u00a0Morten Dahm Kjaergaard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kjaergaard replaced Kent Nielsen at the helm over the summer after he decided to quit the club and become an assistant to Danish national team boss Brian Riemer.<\/p>\n

Silkeborg began the new season with a 1-1 draw away to Randers, with Oliver Ross bagging an equaliser after Mike Themsen had scored the opener.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Silkeborg have only made one new signing so far, with winger Lucas Riisgard arriving from Aarhus Fremad, while four players have departed the club.<\/p>\n

That includes last season’s top scorer Tonni Adamsen, who joined Rapid Wien on a free transfer after bagging 19 goals across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen, meanwhile, finished seventh in the Superliga last season but qualified for European football after winning the relegation round and the European playoff match.<\/p>\n

Bo Svensson<\/a>‘s side are now set to face Hungarian side Debrecen in the final round of Conference League qualifying after beating Plissya Zhytomyr 5-4 on aggregate in the previous round.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen are unbeaten in all competitions so far this season, having also beaten Lyngby 3-2 in their Superliga opener.<\/p>\n

Birger Meling bagged a brace for Copenhagen, before former Southampton and Celtic star Mohamed Elyounoussi<\/a> netted a late winner.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen will be full of confidence heading into the clash, with Silkeborg having won just one of their last 11 meetings across all competitions.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that Copenhagen have thumped Silkeborg 4-0 and 7-0 in their last two meetings.<\/p>\n

Silkeborg will have to make at least one change, with Ross picking up an injury after scoring against Randers.<\/p>\n

Riisgaard is expected to replace him in the starting lineup and will provide attacking support alongside Callum McCowatt<\/a>, with Rami Al Hajj leading the line.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen are set to keep Elyounoussi and Robert out wide after they both scored against Polissya Zhytomyr, with Andreas Cornelius set to start up front.<\/p>\n

Captain Thomas Delaney and ex-West Ham player Alex Kral are likely to start in midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Silkeborg possible starting lineup:<\/p>\n

Andresen; Gammelby, Moller, Ostrom; Lorents, Larsen, Kirk, Westh; McCowatt, Riisgaard; Al Hajj<\/p>\n

Copenhagen possible starting lineup:<\/p>\n

Kotarski; Meling, Suzuki, Bejimo, Lopez; Delaney, Kral; Elyounoussi, Moukoko, Robert; Cornelius<\/p>\n
