Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, AaB in 7th and Randers in 5th place.

Insights:
  • AaB has the most dropped points from leading position (11) in Superliga
  • Randers has the fewest conceded goals (14) in Superliga

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Landspokal Cup. That game was also an away game, at Vejle. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

AaB form and stats

AaB have played 7 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

AaB manager M. Cifuentes Corvillo and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Brøndby (placed 1st) in the Superliga. Preceding that match was the home game against København that was lost 2-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

A decent goal production from AaB in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. AaB have conceded 11 from these games.
