Randers form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Randers's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Cepheus Park Randers.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Randers, who played 1-1 against Galatasaray. That match was also played at this venue (Cepheus Park Randers).

In the game before, an away victory in the Superliga match versus Viborg with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Randers have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost two.

The manager T. Thomasberg will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Galatasaray in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Randers's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.

AaB form and stats

Things could have gone better for AaB in their Superliga away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. AaB goalkeeper Jacob Rinne is eager to challenge this, with his 332 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

AaB play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Vejle (placed 12th). Midfield player Kristoffer Pallesen was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.3/10. Pallesen served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs AGF.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with AaB playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four AaB wins, five draws and two defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far AaB have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. AaB are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
