When playing at home in the Superliga, Randers, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Superliga, have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. After failing to beat OB here at Cepheus Park Randers, Randers has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

This team delivered a eleven league rounds long run without a defeat before that game! Babayan (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.23/10. Babayan scored one goal.

Brøndby form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga. Brøndby have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Brøndby's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Lyngby that finished 3-3. As you can tell from the result, the match against Lyngby was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Vallys, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.04. Vallys scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 36 successful passes (of 45 total).

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Viborg that ended 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brøndby playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Brøndby wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Brøndby as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Brøndby's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.
