Lyngby vs. AC Horsens: Danish 2. Division Preview

LYNGBY, Denmark (Interstat) — Lyngby will host AC Horsens on Monday, May 25, 2026, in a 2. Division match that carries contrasting recent form and a statistical paradox.

The game, scheduled at Lyngby Stadium, pits two clubs separated by just three points in the Danish third-tier standings but with sharply different trajectories.

Lyngby enters the match on a down note, losing 1-0 at home Sunday to FC Copenhagen in a nonleague fixture. In league play, however, Lyngby has won two of its last three, beating Hvidovre 2-0 on May 9 and Hillerod 3-1 on Apr. 21. The club also drew 0-0 with Hillerød on Apr. 25 and 0-0 with Næstved the same day, highlighting a mixed run.

AC Horsens is unbeaten in its last four league matches, a stretch that includes a 1-1 draw at Hvidovre on May 16, a 4-0 home win over Hillerod on May 9, and a 1-0 victory at Esbjerg fB on Apr. 30. The visiting side has allowed only one goal in its past three games.

Head-to-head, the teams split their two meetings earlier this year. AC Horsens won 1-0 at Lyngby on Apr. 4, while Lyngby won 3-1 at AC Horsens on Mar. 9. A third meeting on Aug. 23, 2025, ended scoreless at Lyngby.

Statistical projections offer conflicting outlooks. Interstat’s game simulator forecasts a 1-1 draw. Yet the firm’s ELO system gives Lyngby a 91.50 percent probability of winning, a sharp divergence that underscores the matchup’s unpredictability.

Lyngby’s offense has been inconsistent, scoring twice in its last two league matches but blanked in three of its previous four. AC Horsens, meanwhile, has kept three clean sheets in its last five league outings.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time. The winner could solidify a promotion push, while a draw would leave both sides jockeying in the crowded mid-table of the 2. Division.
