AC Horsens – Still on a high from FCK triumph?
Matchday 1 of the 2022-23 Danish Superliga was certainly not dull, as both of last season’s top two were surprisingly beaten. FC Copenhagen, as defending champions, were expected to make light work of last season’s second division winners, AC Horsens. That wasn’t how it played out, though, the latter – a 7/1 underdog in the capital – earning an extremely hard fought 1-0 win at Parken Stadium.
Now, Jens Berthel Askou can become the first coach of Den Gule Far (The Yellow Danger) to claim six points from the first two rounds in Superliga for five years, when they won their Matchday 2 fixture versus Lyngby. Unbeaten in 13 straight league games (12 of those in the second tier; W9 D4), Horsens haven’t sustained a league defeat at their CASA Arena Horsens since October of last year (going W5 D4 thereafter).
Key Stat: Across 16 home league games last season, spent in the Danish second division, Horsens would only register a clean sheet on two occasions. Both of these coming in goalless draws.
Lyngby – Keen to avoid another late collapse?
It is nearly always said that a 2-0 lead is a dangerous lead. It shouldn’t be, and in reality rarely is, but it was on Matchday 1. Along with last season’s runners-up, FC Midtyjjland, Lyngby were one of only two teams to score first on the opening weekend but not go on to win. Freyr Alexandersson’s men squandering a commanding advantage at home to Silkeborg, who would have been thrilled with the 2-2 scoreline.
That result does look all the respectable now, of course, after Silkeborg went to Midtyjjland on Friday evening and scored another three in a 3-1 victory. Meanwhile, Lyngby are now up to five games unbeaten in league competition (W3 D2; four of those were in the second tier) ahead of their rematch against the side which pipped them to the title in Denmark’s second tier last term by a single point.
Key Stat: Only Horsens completed the 2021-22 season in Denmark’s second tier with a better away record than Lyngby (W9 D5 L2), who would lose one of their last eight said fixtures – though this was a 2-1 reverse to Horsens.

Horsens Vs Lyngby Betting Advice
Ahead of last week’s visit to Copenhagen I highlighted how good Horsens’ defensive record was last season away from home. They only went and subsequently kept a clean sheet at the home of the reigning Danish champions, in a 1-0 win no less. On another day though, they probably lose that contest, after conceding plenty of chances in the capital. Statistically, they are far less secure at CASA Arena Horsens.
Horsens Vs Lyngby – Key Facts:
- Lyngby won both their away games against Horsens the last time they were in the Danish Superliga (2020-21). Prior to this they hadn’t won in any of six prior visits to Horsens in the top-flight (D1 L5).
- In fact, Lyngby are unbeaten across three of their last four visits to Horsens (W3 L1). Moreover, all but one of their last nine encounters here in Horsens produced Both Teams to Score.
- Horsens registered only two home clean sheets from 16 such games in last season’s second tier campaign. Meanwhile, all of Lyngby’s past four away matches saw them score but also concede.
Both Teams to Score returned a winner in 11 of 12 prior league meetings between the teams, which includes every one of the last eight Superliga encounters. With Horsens recording just two defensive shutouts in 16 home league games last season and Lyngby seeing 62% of their away fixtures in 2021-22 feature both teams on the scoresheet, including each of their last four, I feel this bet has solid claims once again.
