Comparative Team Statistics: Silkeborg vs AC Horsens

History offers little guidance

These two have met many times over the years, with wins shared fairly evenly across competitions. The most recent meeting on record came in May 2023, when Silkeborg won 1-0 away at Horsens, but that's now well over three years old and doesn't tell us much about either side's current form.

Separated by a single point

Horsens currently sit sixth with 11 points from nine games, one place and one point above Silkeborg in seventh. Silkeborg's goal difference is level at 12-12, while Horsens have conceded one more than they've scored, 15 for and 16 against. It's about as tight as two mid-table sides can be.

There's little in the league placings to lean on for either side.

How the goals might come

Both teams have conceded fairly freely this season and neither has looked especially tight defensively of late. Silkeborg have shipped goals in bunches on the road at times, while Horsens have leaked at both ends, home and away. On that basis, this looks more like a game where both sides could find the net rather than a tense, low-scoring affair.
