FC Midtjylland team overview
FC Midtjylland enters this one on the back of a disappointing 2-0 home defeat against Beşiktaş in Europa League qualifying.
The Wolves kicked off their new domestic campaign with a thrilling 3-2 league victory over SønderjyskE. However, their early-season momentum was severely dampened by a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Beşiktaş in the Europa League second qualifying round.
Mike Tullberg’s men are desperate to rectify their home form, as the recent European loss means they have won just one of their last 8 competitive fixtures at the MCH Arena.
Star forward Franculino Djú, who led the team with an impressive 20-goal contribution last term, remains the main man tasked with unlocking the opposition defense.
However, the squad will have to cope with a noticeable absentee, as centre-back Ousmane Diao is sidelined due to a foot injury.

Horsens team overview
AC Horsens enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 draw against FC Nordsjælland on the opening day of the season. The Yellow Danger have shown great resilience early on, displaying an organized defensive setup since securing their promotion back to the top flight.
Niki Zimling’s men are eager to test their capabilities on the road, where they managed to maintain an impressive 6-game unbeaten away run with five clean sheets toward the end of their previous league campaign.
Dangerous winger Adrian Justinussen, who carried his team's momentum by converting a crucial penalty last time out, remains the talisman expected to ignite the counter-attacks.
However, the squad will have to cope without recent marquee signing Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, who is a noticeable absentee from the starting lines due to registration timing following his transfer.

Prediction
FC Midtjylland is heavily favored to bounce back and claim a comfortable 2-0 victory on home soil. The Wolves possess superior attacking quality and will look to dominate possession from the outset. Mike Tullberg’s men should breach the visitors' stubborn defensive line, while their own backline remains solid enough to secure a clean sheet. Expect a controlled performance that safely stays under the 3.5 goal threshold.
Three reasons we expect under 3.5 goals in this game
- Five of the last six meetings between Midtjylland and Horsens at this ground finished with under 3.5 goals.
- Four of the last six competitive games of Midtjylland finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Only two of the last 15 games of Horsens across all competitions produced over 2.5 goals.
