Horsens v SønderjyskE Betting Tip

Here we see another of the newly promoted sides in Horsens, who started life in the top flight with a 1-1 draw last weekend, take on SønderjyskE, who were defeated 2-1 by Aarhus in their opening match of the season. An interesting match-up lies ahead.

Superliga new-boys Horsens got their campaign off to a pretty good start by taking a point away from their trip to the side who finished 5th in the division last season. And, in truth, by conceding an equaliser in the 90th minute they were perhaps a little unlucky, although on the overall balance of play it wasn’t exactly undeserved.

On the other hand, it wasn’t the start to the season that last year’s runners up would have been hoping for. Losing at home in the opening match of a season is never a good thing, especially not for a side who’re expected to once again do well this year. Having said this, SønderjyskE would’ve have had their Europa League qualifier in the back of their minds during that game, a tie which they duly came through on Thursday night.

From a betting point of view, this is another of those matches where calling a winner doesn’t appear to be worthwhile. Betting on goals, however, does. At odds of 11/10, ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ represents good value and looks a bet to be on. The visitors have seen at least three goals hit the net in four of their last five away matches. Four in their last four if we were only counting competitive matches. Whereas the hosts have been involved in an over 2.5 outcome in three of their last five competitive home fixtures. On top of this, the respective home and away records held by these two last season, for this particular stat, also read pretty well at 53%.

Overall, SønderjyskE will want to make up for their opening day defeat and will be keen to attack this game. This could prove both a positive and negative tactic. The visitors certainly have enough quality to threaten their opposition here, but in playing the game on the front foot they could present the hosts with good opportunities on the counter. After all, SønderjyskE, having conceded in nine of their last ten competitive away matches, don’t exactly possess the sturdiest of defenses.

At a decent price, over 2.5 goals looks on the cards and is well worth being on.
