FC Copenhagen vs AC Horsens: Over 2.5 goals
Copenhagen's 2.7 expected goals clash with Horsens' 1.5, and the model rates the fixture as an 78.8% chance of over 2.5 goals. Both sides' recent form and head‑to‑head suggest plenty of firepower on display.
Copenhagen head into the game after a five‑match run of four wins and a single loss, while Horsens have been inconsistent, alternating wins and defeats over their last five league outings. Both clubs have shown the ability to score, making the goal tally the key storyline.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FC Copenhagen at 62.8%, the draw at 17.3%, and AC Horsens at 19.7% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 8.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
FC Copenhagen
Copenhagen’s recent form includes a 3‑1 away win at Silkeborg and a 4‑0 away demolition of Randers FC, underscoring their capacity to create and convert chances. Even their lone loss (0‑4 at Viborg) came against a strong defensive side, so overall the team’s goal output remains high, supporting a high‑scoring match.
AC Horsens
Horsens have produced two 2‑1 victories, first away at Odense and then at home versus Lyngby, showing they can score in close games. Their losses (1‑2 at Midtjylland and 0‑2 at Brondby) were low‑scoring, but the recent wins keep their goal threat alive, adding to the over‑goal expectation.
Head-to-Head
In the most recent meeting, Copenhagen edged Horsens 3‑2, a seven‑goal thriller that aligns with the model’s over‑2.5 forecast, while previous fixtures have also featured multiple goals, reinforcing the trend.
