AC Horsens
- Horsens are now unbeaten in their last five league matches, winning three and drawing two, and conceding only two goals during that run.
- Kristensen has set his team up to be reactive and hard to crack by defending with a compact back four and looking to hit on the counter-attack or from set pieces rather than trying to dominate the ball.
- Matej Delač has been solid between the posts while Kristian Kirkegaard has been a reliable link between defence and attack, distributing the ball forward, creating chances and leading the team in assists.
Hillerød
- This is a personal rivalry for Justinussen and Heiselberg, who will face each other for the first time since Heiselberg switched sides in January.
- But it’s also a crucial promotion match-up as Hillerød sit three points clear of Horsens on approximately 40 points to Horsens’ 37 after 25 matches in the 1. Division promotion group.
- Christian Lønstrup’s side have been playing a high-tempo, proactive style of soccer to push themselves into the promotion race, pressing hard and winning the ball back in advanced areas before midfield overloads or quick transitions can hurt the opposition.
- Midfielder Jonathan Witt is the catalyst for Hillerød’s style of play, but the more advanced players like Heiselberg, Hafiz Sulemana and Philip Kallsberg offer more direct options.
Head-to-Head
Hillerød have won two of their last four league meetings with Horsens, but the last meeting was Horsens’ 3-1 win in November 2025 .
Key Players
- Matej Delač has been solid between the posts while Kristian Kirkegaard has been a reliable link between defence and attack, distributing the ball forward, creating chances and leading the team in assists.
- Adrian R. Justinussen has been Horsens’ main goal threat, netting double-digit league goals this season, but Hillerod bring their own firepower to this game as Frederik Heiselberg, who arrived from Horsens in January, has been a handful for defences in the 1. Division Championship Group.
- Midfielder Jonathan Witt is the catalyst for Hillerød’s style of play, but the more advanced players like Heiselberg, Hafiz Sulemana and Philip Kallsberg offer more direct options.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Horsens as 2.14 favorites, with Hillerød 3.34 and the draw 3.26.
- Under 2.5 goals is heavily favored at 1.69, which is probably the best bet in the match result markets, given the way these clubs are set up and the form they have shown in the 1. Division to date.
Prediction
Recent results suggest the visitors can hold up their end of the bargain and this has all the makings of a draw, or even a one-goal win for either side, rather than anything more emphatic.
