Midtjylland fancied to follow up at home

Midtjylland lined up in a 3-5-2 in their last league match, with midfielder Byskov delivering a standout display by contributing one goal and one assist as the focal point of the attack. Defender Lee Han-beom was left out of the squad and is reportedly set to leave the club. Striker Cho Gue-sung played the full match and provided a strong physical presence up front. Young forward Emile Ferber came off the bench to score the winner, underlining his potential and giving the side another possible match-winning option.

Horsens used a 4-2-3-1 in their previous league outing and were second best for most of the game, seeing only around 30 percent of possession. They had to rely on a penalty converted by Justinussen to earn a point, and the overall performance was not especially convincing. Goalkeeper Delac made several important saves and was crucial to their result, but young centre-back Kupibeta looked short of experience and remains a concern in defence.

Midtjylland have Bak out injured, with no suspensions reported. Horsens have no reported injuries or suspensions.

Midtjylland beat Sonderjyske 3-2 in their last league game, showing real attacking quality, and that win should lift confidence and morale. Back on home soil, they hold the edge in overall strength and look well placed to make it back-to-back victories.

Promoted side Horsens drew 1-1 with Nordsjaelland in their last league match, but the performance was only acceptable rather than impressive. Facing a much tougher test away from home here, they appear to be up against it based on what they showed in their opening match.

Midtjylland have won the last three meetings between the sides. They won the most recent encounter 3-1, and that match produced 15 corners.
