National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Holstebro or Randers that keep their silverware dream alive.
Randers could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superliga game only four sleeps ago.
Holstebro form and stats
Last season their Landspokal Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 2. Division Group 1 this season. Holstebro have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Holstebro Idrætspark. On the other hand, in the Landspokal Cup, Holstebro has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. It's trouble wherever Holstebro are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Holstebro manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Holstebro, who won 4-3 against Jammerbugt. Sensational by Holstebro last match, beating Jammerbugt away as big underdogs. Preceding that match was the home 2. Division Group 1 game against Sydvest that was lost 0-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The Holstebro fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Randers form and stats
Last season their Landspokal Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Superliga. The fact that Randers have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Randers have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Randers had fun at their own home (Holstebro Idrætspark) last time out, beating Vejle 3-1. Vito Hammershøj-Mistrati, André Rømer and Alhaji Kamara scored. Prior to that result Randers won their away game at Lyngby in the Superliga. The scoreline was 3-0.
The travelling fans enjoy Randers's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. Randers's manager T. Thomasberg has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
