Randers have traveled here for an interesting Europa Conference League fight against AZ. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
It's no vacation for neither AZ nor Randers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Randers have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
