🗞️ Team News: Randers

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Randers gaffer Rasmus Bertelsen to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Florian Danho (Leg injury) won’t play.

It seems likely that Hestene will possibly make use of the 4-4-2 system for the game, handing starts to Paul Izzo, Oliver Olsen, Daniel Hoeegh, Wessel Dammers, Nikolas Dyhr, Mathias Greve, Andre Roemer, John Bjoerkengren, Simen Bolkan Nordli, Norman Campbell and Stephen Odey.

📰 Team News: FC Copenhagen

FC Copenhagen manager Jacob Neestrup has some current player fitness concerns. Roony Bardghji (unknown injury), Nicolai Boilesen (Knee injury), Oliver Højer (surgery) and Kevin Diks (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that FCK will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Diant Ramaj, Rodrigo Huescas, Gabriel Pereira, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Marcos Lopez, Lukas Lerager, Victor Froholdt, Jordan Larsson, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Elias Achouri and Andreas Cornelius.

💭 Prediction

Randers have enough to find the back of the net against this FC Copenhagen outfit, but a single goal likely won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning margin for FC Copenhagen when the full-time whistle blows. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
