The Superliga returns to the home ground on August 23, 2026, where AC Horsens and Lyngby will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Ferencvaros v Real Madrid: Confirmed line-ups for Mourinho’s latest pre-season clash.

Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: AC Horsens sit 6th, Lyngby lie 9th, but the Superliga has a habit of defying such logic. AC Horsens have blown hot and cold, L across their last five and a win rate of 37.5% that leaves room for improvement. Lyngby have found wins elusive, DWDLD in their last five underscoring a win rate of 12.5%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. It remains to be seen if Leeds will target a No 10 or a winger capable of playing inside now that Brandt is off the table.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. AC Horsens will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Lyngby must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. But it was a dual role for Rayo because he was also among the top dozen players for blocking crosses and winning possession in the defensive third.

The fixture boasts genuine star quality. With M. Elyounoussi topping the Superliga scoring charts at 6 goals, the stage is set for the kind of individual brilliance that can swing a contest. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. The 6ft 5in defender continued to be around the first team and made the squad for both legs against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. On balance, AC Horsens look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 2-1 home win would not come as a surprise. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose.
