Both sides come into the encounter with contrasting recent form – Horsens have managed just one win in their last five, whereas Viborg have collected seven points from two wins and a draw. The disparity in goal‑scoring metrics further underlines the expected dominance of the away side.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Viborg to win Won Strong lean Strong · xG advantage

The model assigns a 58% probability to a Viborg win, driven by their superior expected goals and defensive solidity.

Show the maths
The model gives Viborg a 58.0% chance to win versus Horsens' 13.7%, reflecting a 0.85 xG gap (1.35 vs 0.5). This gap raises the win probability well above the draw (28.3%). The top scorelines of 0‑1 (21.2%) and 0‑2 (14.3%) further illustrate how the expected goal differential translates into the model’s win forecast.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 70.9% model probability

With AC Horsens averaging 0.5 expected goals and Viborg averaging 1.35, the model gives a 70.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 29.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (AC Horsens 0.5, Viborg 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 29.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 70.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Lost 71.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.9 (AC Horsens 0.5 + Viborg 1.35) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 71.7% chance against 28.3% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (AC Horsens 0.5 + Viborg 1.35 = 1.9 combined): 28.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 71.7% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has AC Horsens at 13.7%, the draw at 28.3%, and Viborg at 58.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 21.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

DLLW

Horsens have recorded a draw 1‑1 at home against FC Nordsjaelland, a 1‑2 loss away to FC Midtjylland, a 0‑2 home defeat to Brondby, and a 2‑1 away win over Odense. The mix of three defeats and a single win shows limited attacking output, reinforcing the low xG figure and supporting a low win probability for the pick.

The two wins and draw demonstrate they can secure points even when conceding, aligning with the model’s 58% win chance.

In five recent meetings Viborg have won every match, with scorelines ranging from 0‑1 to 4‑2, confirming a clear historical dominance that backs the win pick.
