Horsens Team Overview
Horsens go into the new season on a high after finishing second in the first division and earning promotion to the top flight. The main goal this year is simple - stay up and avoid getting dragged into a relegation battle in the final rounds. There is one injury concern ahead of the opener: Omar Djardjou is out with a knee problem. At home, though, Horsens always give everything, and they'll look to make up for the gap in quality with hard defensive discipline.

Nordsjaelland Team Overview
Nordsjælland had a brilliant last season - third place and a European spot to show for it. The club is known for its academy and a style of play that's fast, attacking and easy on the eye. Despite being favourites here, they're dealing with a real injury problem: Niklas Reiкjær and Marcus Walker are both out with knee injuries, and Suleiman Alio is a doubt with an undisclosed problem, which limits the rotation options. That said, the squad depth and the way this team is set up should still be enough to dominate a side coming up from the lower division.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
A Nordsjælland win looks like the most logical outcome here, away fixture or not. The gap in quality between a Superliga bronze medallist and a newly promoted side is still too wide to ignore at the start of the season. The visitors have far better attacking options - players who can break down even a well-organised defence. Horsens will need time to find their feet at this level, and holding off a high-pressing favourite in the very first round is a big ask. A 1-2 scoreline looks plausible.
