Player to Watch: Callum McCowatt (Silkeborg IF)
Callum McCowatt is expected to take on greater attacking responsibility following Tonni Adamsen's departure.
After scoring 12 goals in all competitions last season, he remains Silkeborg's biggest goal threat heading into the new campaign.
Operating as a false nine or advanced attacker, McCowatt's movement and creativity will be crucial if Silkeborg are to trouble a Randers defence playing in front of its home supporters.
A productive performance from him could make the difference in a tight contest.
