Soenderjyske seek Superligaen spark against visiting AC Horsens
Sunday afternoon at AL Sydbank Park, Soenderjyske Fodbold and AC Horsens meet for matchday 7 of the Superligaen. Both sides arrive looking to establish momentum in a campaign that has presented early challenges for the hosts and a mixed bag of results for the visitors.
Team news and expected lineups
Soenderjyske Fodbold will have to adjust their defensive setup, as Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason is sidelined due to suspension. The expected XI for the hosts features Nicolai Floe in goal, protected by a back four of Alexander Munksgaard, Pachanga Kristensen, Dalton Wilkins, and Maxime Soulas. In midfield, Jacob Steen Christensen, Sefer Emini, and Mohamed Cherif are expected to anchor the play, supporting forwards Matthew Hoppe and Ismail Seydi.
For AC Horsens, the expected lineup includes Matej Delac between the posts. The defensive line is set to feature Ivan Milicevic, Julius Madsen, Alagie Saine, Ole Kolskogen, and Victor Palsson. Midfield duties are expected to fall to Jimi Tauriainen, Karlo Lusavec, and Adam Herdonsson, while Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan and Adrian Justinussen lead the attack.
The hosts' search for consistency
Soenderjyske Fodbold have endured a difficult start to their Superligaen campaign, struggling to find the back of the net consistently against top-tier opposition. While they recently secured a positive result in the DBU Pokalen with a 2-0 victory over Thisted, their league form has been hampered by a series of narrow defeats. Finding a way to translate their cup success into league points will be the primary objective for the squad this weekend.
Momentum shifts for the visitors
AC Horsens arrive in better spirits following a comfortable 4-0 win against IF Lyseng in the DBU Pokalen earlier this week. Their recent league form has been varied, highlighted by a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lyngby and an impressive away win against OB. Despite a recent 3-2 loss to Viborg, the visitors have shown an ability to compete and score, which they will look to carry into this fixture.
The head-to-head echo
History between these two clubs suggests a competitive edge, though Soenderjyske have historically enjoyed success at home against Horsens. Notable results include a 4-1 victory in March 2024 and a dominant 5-0 win in August 2023, both occurring in the 1. Division. While those matches reflect past encounters, they serve as a reminder of the attacking potential Soenderjyske have previously displayed when facing this specific opponent.
Tactical battle at AL Sydbank Park
With both sides coming off cup matches earlier in the week, fatigue and rotation could play a role in how the match unfolds on Sunday. The tactical battle will likely center on the midfield, where the ability of Soenderjyske’s trio to control the tempo will be tested by the industry of the Horsens engine room. If the hosts can tighten their defensive structure in the absence of Bjarnason, they may find the stability needed to disrupt the visitors' rhythm.
