⭐ Editor's Prediction
Serious injuries in Midtjylland's attacking line will inevitably limit the hosts' scoring potential. Horsens away from home have historically focused on staying compact and pragmatic at the back. The numbers back this up - total goals under 3.5 has landed in 18 of their last 19 away matches. The hosts, having conceded in the opening round, are unlikely to push hard from the first minute. Put it all together and this looks like a restrained affair with goals at a premium. We're backing total goals under 3.5 and predicting a 2-1 scoreline.
