Both sides come into the clash with contrasting recent form – Sonderjyske have lost four of their last five, and AC Horsens have rebounded with two wins out of five. The goal‑rich head‑to‑head history adds a tactical edge to a game that could stay tight.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Under 2.5 goals Lost Strong lean Strong · Defensive balance

The model assigns a 62.3% probability to fewer than 2.5 goals, reflecting the low xG figures and defensive records of both clubs.

Show the maths
Sonderjyske’s xG of 0.7 and Horsens’ away xG of 1.5 sum to 2.2 expected goals. The model translates this sub‑2.5 total into a 62.3% chance of an under‑2.5 result. The top scoreline probabilities (0‑1 at 16.6% and 0‑2 at 12.5%) also sit below the 2.5‑goal threshold, reinforcing the under bet.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 60.9% model probability

With Sonderjyske averaging 0.7 expected goals and AC Horsens averaging 1.5, the model gives a 60.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 39.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Sonderjyske 0.7, AC Horsens 1.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 39.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 60.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Lost 62.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.2 (Sonderjyske 0.7 + AC Horsens 1.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 62.3% chance against 37.7% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Sonderjyske 0.7 + AC Horsens 1.5 = 2.2 combined): 37.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 62.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Sonderjyske at 17.4%, the draw at 26.1%, and AC Horsens at 56.5% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 16.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Sonderjyske

LLDLL

Sonderjyske’s last five league outings read LLDLL, including a 2‑3 loss to FC Midtjylland at home and a 0‑3 home defeat by FC Nordsjaelland. Four defeats in five matches underline a fragile attack, which supports a low‑scoring encounter.

AC Horsens

LLWWL

AC Horsens have posted LLWWL, highlighted by a 2‑1 away win at Odense and a 2‑1 home victory over Lyngby. Their two recent wins show they can score, but the overall five‑match stretch still features three losses, indicating they are unlikely to breach the 2.5‑goal mark against a low‑xG side.

Head-to-Head

The recent head‑to‑head record favours high scores – a 4‑1 win for Sonderjyske in March 2024 and a 5‑0 result in August 2023 – but the model’s current xG assessment points to a tighter game this time.
