Aarhus Fremad
- Fremad have about 26 points from their 20 games, and a run of two wins and two draws in their last five competitive matches suggests they could be finding form at the right time for the end-of-season run-in.
- A 1-0 victory at AaB and a 4-1 home win over Middelfart in May have boosted their table position and showed they have the attacking firepower to challenge the best teams in the division.
AC Horsens
- Nielsen is a pragmatic coach who has kept Horsens competitive in the 1. Division by ensuring they remain structured and organised in all phases of the pitch.
- A three-defender base allows Horsens to press in numbers and cover the space behind their high wing-backs, while a five-man defence can also create a wall of resistance against counter-attacks.
Head-to-Head
- Aarhus Fremad and AC Horsens have played each other four times since 2020 in all competitions.
- Fremad has won once, Horsens twice and the two sides drew 0-0 in their last 1. Division meeting.
Key Players
- Kasper Andersen is Fremad’s main goal threat, but Magnus Kaastrup has given them some much-needed creativity and goals on the wings, and Martin Agnarsson brings a similar mix of goals and assists from midfield.
- Horsens have the better attacking depth in Roko Baturina, Muhamet Hyseni and Adrian Justinussen, all of whom can score goals and are capable of breaking games open with their pace and skill on the ball.
- Experience at the back will be provided by Victor Pálsson.
Betting Insights
- Horsens are slight favorites for this clash and it’s hard to justify Horsens’ odds of 2.57 over the home side’s 2.66, but a draw at 3.18 looks more likely than either win based on the teams’ recent records and the closeness of their games over the past few years.
- A ‘Both teams to score - Yes’ bet looks good at 1.73, however, because Fremad have scored seven goals in their last two competitive games and Horsens have also shown attacking promise this year.
- Morten Dahm Kjærgaard has made some changes to the Fremad side’s approach this year, making it more compact and giving his young attackers the license to break forward.
Prediction
- Horsens have the edge but a draw looks the likeliest outcome.
- Both teams to score is a realistic alternative given recent form.
