Randers form and stats

3-6-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Randers, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Superliga, in their Superliga matches away.

Randers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Brøndby. As you can tell from the results above, Randers was very dominant against Brøndby, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Breuner, Odey and Nordli (2) providing the goals. The attacker Odey got a match rating of 8.24 in that game. Odey scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Nordsjælland.

Randers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 5 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

Randers have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 16 goals have been scored. As for defending, Randers rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 17 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
