Silkeborg and Vejle shared the spoilsČTK / imago sportfotodienst / Gonzales Photo/Morten KjaerNone of the teams in the relegation playoff managed to secure vital wins on Sunday when Lyngby-Viborg and Silkeborg-Vejle ended in draws. Silkeborg - VejleSilkeborg had the better of the opening stages of their game against Vejle The home side often managed to find space to escape Vejle’s pressing game and took a deserved lead after nine minutes when Callum McCowatt stole possession in midfield and delivered a finely-tuned through ball for leading goalscorer Tonni Adamsen who scored with a cool finish and restored parity after 36 minutes when Anders Jacobsen delivered a perfect pass on a counter-attack for Dimitrios Emmanouilidis who provided a clinical finish past Silkeborg-keeper Nicolai Larsen While the first half offered end-to-end action for the crowd in Silkeborg the second half turned into a more tactical affair where both sides seemed more keen on preserving at least one point than going for the win Silkeborg did manage to score just before the final whistle when Alexander Simmelhack volleyed home a perfect cross from Julius Nielsen Anosike Ementa and Lauge Sandgrav battle for the ballČTK / imago sportfotodienst / Gonzales Photo/Rune MathiesenLyngby - ViborgThe importance of the game was quite evident in Lyngby’s game against Viborg in a match rich on man-to-man action but with fairly few chances in the first half Viborg did, however, have opportunities to pull ahead, when Isak Jensen barely missed the target after ten minutes and Renato Júnior wasted a glorious chance, when he came face with Lyngby-keeper Jonathan Aegidius, following a superb delivery from Thomas Jorgensen but couldn’t find the target. Viborg dominated the first 15 minutes of the second half where they continued the promising display that set up the big chance for Renato Júnior at the end of the first half. However, after Viborg-coach Jakob Poulsen replaced Isak Jensen, Srđan Kuzmić and Justin Lonwijk with Charly Nouck, Asker Beck og Jean Manuel Mbom, the visitors lost their grip on the game. Lyngby looked more dangerous towards the end of the game and 10 minutes from time Saevar Magnússon came closest to breaking the deadlock with a long-range effort but the match ended goalless.  01 Feb 2025 15:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}FC København won 3–0 over Silkeborg on Sat Predicted lineups are available for the match a few days in advance while the actual lineup will be available about an hour ahead of the match The current head to head record for the teams are FC København 22 win(s) 01 Feb 2025 15:00:00 GMT?FC København won 3–0 over Silkeborg on Sat 01 Feb 2025 15:00:00 GMT.InsightsFC København haven't lost to Silkeborg in their last 7 meetings (5W FC København is playing home against Silkeborg at Pinatar Arena Football Center on Sat Get the best experience and stay connected to your community with our Spectrum News app. Learn More CINCINNATI — FC Cincinnati has made another European acquisition who is on loan from Middlesborough FC of the EFL Championship league The 26-year-old is set to join the team through the end of this season “with the club retaining an option to complete a transfer.” “We’d like to welcome Lukas to Cincinnati,” FC Cincinnati General Manager Chris Albright said in the release "He’s a versatile player with a great engine who will help balance our defense and attack Lukas is a top professional and an excellent character who will be a valuable addition to our group.” Vejle Boldklub and Fremad Amager FC in Denmark Denmark earned one call-up to the Denmark U21 National Team in his youth international career,” the release reads From the 19th-century mill town of Silkeborg the lakelands of the Jutland peninsula unfurl like giant droplets in a region ripe for kayaking are incredibly popular in the Danish lakes.Photograph by Frank Bach 2024This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK).For travellers Denmark’s Jutland peninsula is often shorthand for Legoland in the town of Billund or forest and fen of this region are the real treats — especially the Lake District Søhøjlandet in the centre In 85sq miles of forest are some 50 freshwater lakes many strung along the Gudenå River that cuts through the area Brassø and Borresø on the central 18-mile stretch that runs from the historic watermill at Klostermølle to Silkeborg town this area is still remarkably untroubled by gradients with flat horizons in every direction and an active with a lively harbour full of music and open-air cafes surrounded by water and forests of pine and beech or the pork roast with potatoes and parsley sauce to go with your beers one of the world’s oldest coal-fired steamers still in operation which runs from Silkeborg to Sky Mountain down the Gudenå River in 75 minutes from May to September You can hop on and off en route — hoist the pennant on the steamer jetties to stop the ferry as it passes The park is a snapshot of the local ecosystem sharp-toothed pike and industrious beavers the woods around it carpeted in blueberries then return to Aqua to make homemade pizzas using the park’s open-air oven or traditional twisted bread to toast on a stick over the firepit but there are often firepits for roasting marshmallows Built in 1861, the paddle steamer SS Hjejlen is still operational in Søhøjlandet.Photograph by Frank Bach, AlamyHygge local dining spots1.

On Tuesday, Trivela agreed to acquire an 80 per cent take in Silkeborg with the sale subject to the approval of two-thirds majority at a general meeting which is due to take place in mid-December.  If the deal is approved by the board of shareholders at Silkeborg then they will become the fourth club to operate under the Trivela umbrella alongside Walsall, Drogheda United and the grassroots club Trivela FC based in Togo.  Boycott confirmed that the initial figure offered to the shareholders of Silkeborg's holding company is in the region of £13million and that he does not expect the potential addition of Silkeborg to affect Walsall or Drogheda.  Boycott revealed in an interview on the club website: "We want a group of independent, important, well-run football clubs that matter in their local community and at some ways have collaborations and learnings with one another as we've seen with Walsall and Drogheda so far.  "But we're not kind of pre-scripting or pre-defining all of that. The bottom line is we want to invest in communities by investing in really well run football clubs and hopefully long-term can collaborate with one another and have some shared benefits.  "If they approve it, which they may or may not, then this fits into that. "I wouldn't say it affects them at all (Walsall or Drogheda). I would point everybody to, I'm going to call it a bigger pie mentality and a growth mentality.  "If this is approved, Trivela is getting a little bit bigger and it may be tempting to look at it and say, ok Trivela have this finite set of resources and so that means there is going to be less here and more there.  "But the bottom line is that we've had some good success, we're growing and this is part of it so I don't think it's taking anything away from Walsall or Drogheda." The proposed sale has been met with scepticism among the Silkeborg fanbase with over 100 supporters attending a peaceful protest outside the club's JYSK Park stadium on Tuesday evening.  Boycott addressed those concerns in a press conference in Denmark earlier this week and insists that Trivela are hoping to work alongside Silkeborg and add to the "legacy of excellence" which they've created.  "The message here in Denmark is very much business as usual and hopefully business as usual with more opportunities in long-term," he continued.  "We're very impressed by the football club about what they've been able to achieve from a sporting standpoint and what they've been able to achieve from an office and business standpoint.  "Fortunately, the current CEO, the CFO, sporting director and head coach will continue to be in those roles.  "So really I'd say is what they can expect from us is that we can come alongside them as partners and carry forward their legacy of excellent and continuous improvement then hopefully over time there's things we can add to that."  And Boycott also added that there are no immediate plans to add any more clubs to the Trivela portfolio. "It's possible but I'll be honest and say right now we have no plans. No active conversations or anything like that," he revealed. "If the shareholders approve us to become a part of this football club in Silkeborg then we'll have plenty to be getting on with. "If and when we grow further, it'll be for the right reasons and in the right way."  Drogheda United owners Trivela are set to purchase a majority stake in Danish club Silkeborg. The US-based investment firm have agreed a deal to buy an 80-per-cent stake in the top-flight side, adding to a portfolio that includes Drogheda and Walsall. Silkeborg, who were founded in 1917 and are currently fourth in the Danish Superliga. They've only won one league title and that was back in 1994 but won the Danish Cup for the second time in their history last year. The side featured in Europe this season when they reached the Conference League third qualifying round in August where they were knocked out by Gent. Drogheda have reaped the benefits of their link with Walsall recently, with the likes of Evan Weir and Douglas James-Taylor arriving on loan and standing out at the Louth club.  Trivela fully acquired Drogheda in 2023, and oversaw the club's FAI Cup triumph as well as their League of Ireland Premier Division survival in the past two weeks.

Amundsen While Silkeborg have the home advantage in this game and Molde have struggled in recent weeks, we believe the visitors have a stronger squad than their opponents and will hold on to a draw to progress into the next round here.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here The second round of matches in the 2024 Danish Superliga campaign pits Aalborg BK against Silkeborg at the Aalborg Portland Park on Sunday Both teams came away empty-handed from their respective last outings and now go in search of a pick-me-up this weekend Silkeborg suffered a huge blow in their quest to qualify for the Europa League following a 3-1 defeat against Molde in Thursday's meeting at Aker Stadion This came off the back of a 1-0 triumph over Sonderjyske in SIF's Superliga curtain-raiser and they currently sit fourth in the standings With the second leg of their European qualifier to come after Sunday's affair the visitors could certainly do with a dominant display here before they attempt to overturn a two-goal deficit four days later Aalborg were on the receiving end of a comprehensive 3-0 loss to Nordsjaelland when the teams locked horns at Right to Dream Park on Friday Menno van Dam's men headed into the locker room with a mountain to climb having gone behind to strikes from Marcus Ingvartsen and Peter Ankersen, after which Mads Hansen sealed the deal two minutes from time As a result, De Bolchestribede are bottom of the Danish Superliga table at the moment Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have only lost one of the last 11 editions of this fixture across all competitions Off the back of a first defeat on home turf since May in their most recent home outing Sunday's visitors will be eager to return to winning ways in front of what is set to be an expectant home crowd Aalborg's John Iredale had an official debut to forget last time out as he was hooked off at half time and the forward could have to make do with a place on the bench in this one Jubril Adedeji is still unavailable for the home side having not made an appearance since mid-May due to injury Long-term absentee for Silkeborg Alexander Busch is still a considerable way off making his return to action from an injury he picked up earlier this year Defender Andreas Poulsen will have some familiar faces in the opposition camp as he takes to the field for the away side having previously spent two years at Aalborg Aalborg BK possible starting lineup:Muller;

two people: the tollund man and the elling woman the firm’s proposal will aim to establish a stronger identity to the institution along with creating a more welcoming and accessible destination using architecture the museum is well known for two preserved bog bodies all images © 3XN 3XN’s approach will begin with a journey where visitors will follow a path through a bog-like landscape before arriving at the main entrance a contemporary form emerges from the distance forming the new extension and from a distance appears as if a piece of peat had been carved out from the bog itself this addition will be constructed using white stone with a timber interior and instill a nordic and welcoming character  the exhibitions will place emphasis on the iron age as the key period of the museum the exhibition design will be conceived by atelier brückner visitors are guided on a chronological path from the ice age to the middle ages placing the emphasis on the iron age as the key period of the museum two spaces have been created to highlight the iron age in these spaces the timeline is condensed and visitors pass through them as a fast forward button the iron age period extended between these two framed spaces is divided into to two parts – ‘life’ and ‘death’ ‘the design approach for the new museum was guided by the goal of creating a museum where history and modernity exhibition and architecture all blend together’ comments jan ammundsen senior partner and head of competitions at 3XN architects  the extension consists of three new buildings and a new landscape design the completed scheme will be expected to open by 2020 with the addition of a winter garden a new administration building with educational facilities and most of all bring together the museum attraction

destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Thilo Kehrer and his West Ham United teammates are determined to ensure their European campaign continues its fast start when they take on Danish side Silkeborg IF on Thursday The Hammers began their UEFA Europa Conference League Group B campaign with a 3-1 victory over FCSB at London Stadium a week ago and now have the chance to make it a perfect six points from six West Ham managed that feat in their successful Europa League campaign last year and Kehrer is well aware how much a strong beginning would help the team down the line The Germany defender was involved in the play-off round victory over Silkeborg’s Danish Superliga counterparts Viborg and says the team will be ready for Thursday night’s challenge too “To win the first game was important to us,” Kehrer confirmed “We know that a good result in the group leads also to getting to the next round and taking the good feeling into the next game “For us it is important and we want to continue with that on Thursday with a good result and then hopefully get out of the group “Many teams would be happy to play in Europe It is just a privilege to teams and we see it as that too For us it’s very important and we want to go as far as possible “I think West Ham’s name is one that gets bigger and bigger You see the signings that came in the summer and the development in general over the past few years “It’s getting more known around Europe and in people’s eyes Everything is on a very good way and we want to keep on getting up and up.” Kehrer’s start to life in east London has been a whirlwind and has already made seven appearances for his new Club He feels being thrown in at the deep end has helped his settling in period and says there is plenty more to come over the season ahead “I feel like I’ve had a kick-start to my West Ham career directly into it by playing the games straight away,” he continued “In my opinion it’s also the best way to get to know the team to integrate inside the club and get to know each other “I didn’t have so many games in pre-season so I didn’t have a rhythm so having my debut and playing right away felt really good for me “I also needed a little bit of time for my body to adapt and get really fit That adaptation period applies to the team as a whole with eight new additions making their way to London Stadium this summer Kehrer has added further depth to a defensive group which includes the likes of Kurt Zouma Craig Dawson and – when he returns from injury – Nayef Aguerd He feels that level of competition will only benefit the players in his position and the team as a whole “The new additions are exciting and interesting for everybody and for us to play our best game it needs some time for us to find each other and know each other in the best way,” he added “We’re doing it in the best way possible and are working on it together with the coaching staff I never knew anything different – in all the teams I have ever played that has been big competition The manager has to take the decisions and for us as players we have to give everything to make the decision as hard as possible for the first eleven “At the end this will only be positive for the team.” Kehrer is expecting a similar challenge to that posed by Viborg and knows the Hammers will need to be on their game and we will go against it with our qualities.”
