Randers manager T. Thomasberg looking for three points in Silkeborg showdown

Randers and Silkeborg should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Silkeborg have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-7-16 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.

Randers form and stats

Randers have collected 4 points from their Superliga home games so far after 1-1-1. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Randers to get some points in this home game.

The fans are hoping that Randers will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Superliga game against Lyngby. Ahead of that match, Randers lost 0-1 at home to København.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Randers matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from two games).

Randers are traveling soon after this match as the Landspokal Cup match at Kolding IF awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Randers in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded.

Silkeborg form and stats

As the visiting team in Superliga matches, Silkeborg, who have the most conceded goals (19) in Superliga, have produced an overall stat of 0-2-2 so far. Silkeborg have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row. Visiting Silkeborg has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Esbjerg in their previous outing. The Superliga match ended in a draw 2-2. Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs SønderjyskE.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Silkeborg playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 0 home wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Silkeborg manager K. Nielsen as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Herlev.

Silkeborg find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Silkeborg's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Randers, 2 draws and 5 wins for Silkeborg. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
