Best Bet: AC Horsens to Win
Our AI-backed prediction strongly favors a home victory, with a trust rating of 4.7/10 and odds of 1.76. While not the most confident rating, Horsens' superior squad value (€10.62m vs. Esbjerg’s €5.78m) and home advantage make them the logical pick.

Match Analysis & Betting Insights
Historically, home teams in the Danish 1. Division win 40.8% of the time, while away sides claim 33.2% of victories. This suggests a slight edge for Horsens, but not an overwhelming one. However, Esbjerg’s struggles in recent seasons and their inability to score in their last head-to-head meeting with Horsens (0-0 on February 17, 2024) raise concerns about their attacking threat.

Goals Market: Over 2.5 Goals
With 54.2% of league matches featuring over 2.5 goals, this market is worth considering. The AI model suggests over 2.5 goals with a trust level of 3.0 and odds of 1.7. Horsens’ expected 2-1 victory aligns with this bet, but given Esbjerg’s recent scoring struggles, a more cautious approach may be needed.

Predicted Scoreline & Half-Time Expectation
The AI predicts a 2-1 win for AC Horsens, with a 1-0 lead at half-time. This aligns with Horsens’ tendency to start strong at home and Esbjerg’s inconsistent form. Bettors looking for a riskier option could explore the HT/FT market with Horsens leading at both intervals.

Final Thoughts
Horsens are the stronger side on paper and have the home advantage, making them the best pick for this match. While the over 2.5 goals bet has potential, Esbjerg’s lack of firepower could make it a tricky call. A straight win for Horsens at 1.76 remains the safest option. Play smart, trust the data, and win big!
