Form guide
Midtjylland are second with 25 points from 11 games and are unbeaten in their five home league games. Their last five went 2-2 against Nordsjælland, 4-1 against Brøndby, 1-1 at OB, 2-1 against FC Copenhagen and 2-1 at Viborg. All five had two or more goals.
Lyngby are 12th with eight points. They won 2-0 at Viborg in early September and drew 1-1 with Sønderjyske, but then lost 4-0 at home to Silkeborg, lost 5-2 at Brøndby and drew 3-3 with Nordsjælland. That is 12 goals conceded in three games.
Head-to-head
Midtjylland have won their last three home meetings with Lyngby, though narrowly: 1-0 in April 2023, 2-1 in October 2023 and 1-0 in February 2025. The meeting at Lyngby in August ended 1-1.
Team news
Midtjylland have a long absence list. Erlić, Brumado, Magnus Jensen, Krüger-Johnsen and goalkeeper Ólafsson are reported out, and Castillo and Bak Jensen are also missing. Lyngby are without goalkeeper Snorre.
Our prediction and why
We take Midtjylland or draw (1X). Midtjylland have won three of their last five and are unbeaten at home, but the draws with Nordsjælland and OB mean our rules use double chance. Lyngby have lost two of their last three heavily.
We also take Over 2.5 goals. Lyngby have conceded 12 goals in three games and scored in four of their last five, so they can add a goal to whatever Midtjylland score. The risk is the head-to-head, because Midtjylland's last three home wins over Lyngby were all by one goal.
