AC Horsens vs Sonderjyske Prediction & Betting Tips

Form check

Looking just at their nine Superliga games so far this season, Horsens have won three, drawn two and lost four, scoring 15 and conceding 16. A chunk of that goal tally came from a 5-2 win away at Sonderjyske back in early September, so their underlying home form away from that result has been more modest.

Sonderjyske have managed just one win in their nine league games, drawing two and losing six, with 12 scored and 21 conceded. Their solitary win came at home against Randers, and results away from home have been particularly hard to come by.

Sonderjyske's away form has been especially leaky, which matters given they're on the road here.

Comparative Team Statistics: AC Horsens vs Sonderjyske

Head-to-head

These two have a long history in Danish football, and it's swung both ways over the years. The most recent meeting saw Horsens win 5-2 at Sonderjyske's ground, but earlier fixtures include a 4-1 win for Sonderjyske and a 5-0 win for Sonderjyske too, so neither side has had a consistent hold over the other.

It's worth remembering that recent meeting came with Sonderjyske at home, not Horsens. This time the venue flips back to Horsens' own ground, where recent head-to-head results are less one-sided.

League table gap

After nine games each, Horsens sit sixth with 11 points, while Sonderjyske are down in 12th with just five. That's a clear enough gap in the table, even if it's still relatively early in the season.

The table backs Horsens as the stronger side on paper right now.

Players to note

Sonderjyske's M. Haidara has four goals in nine appearances, matching Horsens' K. Ehibhatiomhan, who has four in eight. Horsens' Jimi Weikko Tauriainen has also chipped in with three assists in eight games, showing he's been involved in a fair few of their goals.

A few players on both sides have picked up yellow cards regularly this season, and Sonderjyske have had a couple of red cards among squad members with limited minutes. None of that points to confirmed absences for this fixture, just a sense of who's been busy.

How it could play out

Horsens go into this with the better league position and a recent big win over this exact opponent, even if that came away from home. Sonderjyske's away form this season has been weak, which doesn't help their cause travelling to a side sitting comfortably above them.

That said, the history between these clubs shows games can go either way, sometimes by big margins. Sonderjyske have shown in patches, like that Randers win, that they can still put goals together even during a difficult season.
