AC Horsens (home)
- AC Horsens, meanwhile, are very much a David Nielsen side, with a compact 3-at-the-back structure that has width from the wing-backs.
- They transition quickly from defence to attack and can be ruthless in the penalty area with a disciplined defensive unit behind them.
- Horsens have been a little more erratic in their last five competitive matches (won 2, drawn 1, lost 2).
Lyngby BK (away)

- Top-division experienced Lyngby BK have the better recent form with four wins from their last five matches.
