The draws against Hillerod and Hobro, both away, show resilience in difficult environments, though they might have hoped for more.

Away Team Form Analysis
Recent Performance
HORSENS arrives at this fixture in significantly poorer form than their hosts. Their record over the last ten matches stands at two wins, two draws, and six losses. This indicates a team struggling to find consistency and collect points.
Offensively, HORSENS has a slightly better average, scoring 1.1 goals per game. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 1.3 goals per game. This imbalance suggests a leaky defense that often undermines their attacking efforts.

Last 5 Matches Breakdown
Here is a detailed breakdown of HORSENS' last five competitive fixtures:
HORSENS Last 5 Matches
| date | home team | Away_team | home_score | Away_score | Result |

| 27.09.25 | Hillerod | Horsens | 2 | 1 | L |
W = Win
D = Draw
L = Loss
HORSENS' recent form is a cause for concern. They've suffered back-to-back losses against Koge and B.93, conceding five goals in those two matches. Even their home draw against Hobro saw them concede three goals, indicating defensive frailties.
Their sole win in the last five came away against Middelfart with a convincing 3-0 scoreline. This result proves they have the capability to perform well on the road, but it stands as an outlier in an otherwise poor run. The Hillerod loss further underscores their struggles away from home.
Form Comparison & Key Statistics
When comparing the two teams, KOLDING IF clearly holds the edge in recent form and overall stability. KOLDING IF's record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 is superior to HORSENS' 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses.
In terms of goal scoring, HORSENS has a slightly higher average (1.1 goals per game) compared to KOLDING IF (0.9 goals per game). However, this offensive edge is negated by HORSENS' weaker defense, conceding 1.3 goals per game versus KOLDING IF's 1.0 goals per game. KOLDING IF appears to be the more defensively sound team, which often translates to better results over time.
KOLDING IF's recent form (D W L W D) shows only one loss in their last five, contrasting sharply with HORSENS' (L L W D L) three losses in the same period. This suggests KOLDING IF is currently in a better rhythm and has more confidence within their squad.
The home advantage for KOLDING IF is a significant factor. They have secured two wins in their last three home fixtures, demonstrating their ability to perform in front of their fans. HORSENS, on the other hand, has had a mixed bag on the road, with their 3-0 win against Middelfart being a highlight, but also suffering losses to B.93 and Hillerod away from home.
Historically, KOLDING IF also dominates the head-to-head record. Their 50% win rate against HORSENS' 30% indicates a psychological edge. While HORSENS did win the last encounter, KOLDING IF's overall historical performance in this fixture cannot be ignored when making a KOLDING IF vs HORSENS prediction.
