It's match two of the Superliga season and important points to play for. Read our complete preview of Randers-OB!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Randers form and stats
Last season, Randers's league statistics were 9 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, leading to 5th place in the Superliga. In these 22 matches they scored 26 goals and let in 25. Performing at their own stadium in the last season Randers generated 5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 13 conceded.
Randers travelled for their previous game, a trip to Midtjylland that ended 1-1. Randers's goalie Carlgren played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Midtjylland with a stunning eight saves.
A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Midtjylland.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Randers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.
OB form and stats
Let's have a look at how OB performed last season in the Superliga: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 9 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 11/19 goals scored/conceded.
The manager Alm was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Nature Energy Park. OB suffered a 0-2 loss to Nordsjælland (placed 1st). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league games winning points. Larsen, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Larsen won 1 of 2 duels.
We have checked recent matches where OB have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 12 games were 1 victory, 4 draws and 7 defeats.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous ten meetings between these two participants are: four wins for Randers, two draws and four wins for OB. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Randers missing players
