Tactics and personnel
Mike Tullberg has Midtjylland playing with an exciting, vertical edge at the moment, deploying a high line, pressing opponents and playing on the front foot through the wings.
Horsens will try to take the wind out of the game and make this a gritty, compact and ugly affair. Niki Zimling's side are an honest, hard-working team that play a solid defensive style, have the work ethic to win ugly games and are quick to get into the attacking third in transition.

- Watch: Dario Osorio has made an immediate impact with 1 assist from 1 appearance
Home advantage can swing it
Horsens will probably get a better gameplan than Midtjylland on Sunday and can make this hard for the hosts, but they won't be able to hold out for 90 minutes. They have conceded only 7 goals in 6 away games in all competitions, so they can stay back and make it difficult.
However, they have lost 3 straight games and their most recent 2 defeats were both away at AGF Aarhus (2-0) and Vendsyssel FF (1-0) so the attacking spark is misfiring for them.
Midtjylland are playing well with pace, pressing and vertical movement their best qualities and that should tell in this game if they can break Horsens down early and get the game into a rhythm. Midtjylland have won 3 of their 4 home fixtures in all competitions and Horsens have lost 3 of their 6 road games in all competitions, so we are going with a home win in Denmark.
