Randers form and stats

3 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Randers have to build on here at Cepheus Park Randers in the Superliga.

Randers are returning here after visiting Middelfart in a Landspokal Cup game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. O. Bundgaard, J. Ankersen, T. Kehinde and S. Odey scored the goal(s). As mentioned above, Randers "killed" Middelfart in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Before that, Randers had a Superliga home game versus AGF which ended with a victory 1-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Randers as they have a new game in only four days, a Europa Conference League match thankfully also at home. Jablonec are visiting.

Randers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Randers's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Midtjylland form and stats

Midtjylland have an excellent away record in the Superliga so far with 4-1-1 from 6 games.

Midtjylland won their last game, 3-1 versus AaB (after extra-time) played at home.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus SønderjyskE in the Superliga.

The schedule is very tough for Midtjylland now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Crvena Zvezda is waiting in only four days.

Midtjylland have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Midtjylland as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
