Horsens 2-1 Lyngby Boldklub result, stats and report

Last updated 16 August 2026. Right, let's talk about this one. Horsens vs Lyngby Boldklub. Danish Superliga. Sunday 23 August, 3pm UK time. On paper it looks like a nothing game between two sides near the bottom of the table. But honestly? These are the matches I love. Two teams desperate for their first win of the season. Someone is walking away from this one with three points and a bit of breathing room. The question is who.

Where Are These Two Teams Right Now?

Look at the standings and it tells you everything you need to know. Both Horsens and Lyngby are sitting on just one point from their opening three games. Horsens are 12th, Lyngby just above them at 11th on goal difference. Both have that horrible minus three goal difference. It is tight, it is tense, and neither side can afford another bad result.

Horsens have gone loss, loss, draw so far. Zero wins. Five goals conceded, only two scored. That is not a great return and the home form makes for grim reading. In their two home games this season they have drawn one and lost one, keeping zero clean sheets and scoring just one goal. The momentum is pointing downward. Negative one on the slope, mate. Not the vibe you want heading into a must-win situation.

Lyngby are not much better to be honest. Draw, loss, loss. Four goals scored but seven conceded in those three games. They are leaking at the back. Away from home they have played twice and lost both, giving up five goals while scoring just two. The clean sheet percentage for both sides this season is zero. Absolutely zero. Neither goalkeeper has kept a single sheet clean. You sense goals are coming in this one regardless of the scoreline.

The Form Guide Says It All

Horsens at home recently... loss and a draw. That is their last five home games in the Superliga. Goals for: one. Goals against: three. That is a problem. They are not scoring enough and they are too easy to play through. The momentum slope is sitting at negative one which is about as bad as it gets in terms of trajectory.

Lyngby away from home in their last five... two losses from two. Two goals scored, five conceded. So they travel badly. That is a consistent theme. At home they drew their only game, which at least showed some resilience. But coming to Horsens and trying to get a result on the road? That is a bigger ask based on what we have seen.

Here is the thing though. Look at the fixtures and neither side has been facing world beaters. This is a new season, there is still time to sort things out. But the pressure is real. Sit on one point after four games and the season can get away from you very quickly in a league like this.

What the Numbers Are Telling Us (Sort Of)

Now I know Marcus is going to come at me with the xG stuff. And look, I actually looked at the numbers for once and... Lyngby's xG for is 6.6 against an xG against of 3.4. Which apparently means, in that language that statisticians invented to confuse the rest of us, that Lyngby are creating more chances than their results suggest. They have been unlucky. Or wasteful. Or both. Six point six expected goals and they have only scored four actual ones. That gap is the story of their season so far.

Horsens on the other hand have an xG for of just 2.3 against an xG against of 6.1. Right, so they are not creating much and they are giving up loads of decent chances against them. That is... not good. That is not the profile of a team that is going to suddenly turn things around without some serious work being done.

I say xG and I feel dirty saying it but the numbers do actually paint a picture here. Lyngby look like the better side on the underlying stuff even if the table says otherwise. Horsens look like a side that might be in real trouble.

Injury News and Team Updates

Honestly, we have no confirmed injury information available at this point for either side. The data sheet is clean on that front, no reported absences to flag up. You will want to check closer to kick-off on Sunday because at this stage of the season squads are still settling and things can change quickly. I will be keeping an eye on any late news before the 3pm kick-off.

Head to Head... Actually Nothing to Go On

There is no head to head data available between these two sides in the current dataset. So we cannot lean on history here. We go purely on form and what the current season is telling us. Which is fine. Sometimes a clean slate is the most honest thing you can work with.

Jay's Prediction and the Bet

Right. Here we go. Both teams are desperate. Both teams are wide open at the back. Neither side has kept a clean sheet all season. The BTTS percentage for Horsens in their last five overall games is sitting at 66 percent. For Lyngby it is the same. Both teams to score looks like a proper shout here and I am comfortable with that call.

On the result... look, Horsens at home should have the edge in theory. Home advantage matters. But their home record this season is genuinely dreadful and Lyngby's xG numbers suggest they are a better team than their position implies. This is a coin flip dressed up as a football match.

I'm going big on this... Lyngby to win or draw. They look the more capable side on the numbers, they are scoring four goals in three games which is more than Horsens managed, and a team with 6.6 xG for is eventually going to start converting those chances. You heard it here first.

Back to the drawing board if it goes wrong. It usually does. But the data points that way and I trust the data. Well. Sort of. Look, I trust my gut and the gut says goals and a Lyngby win or draw. Get involved.
