Following on from a loss in their previous game against Viborg FF in Superliga competition, Odense BK will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Odense BK had 40% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Odense BK was Nicholas Mickelson (14'). Viborg got 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Nicolas Bürgy (21'), Ibrahim Said (80') and Malik Abubakari (94') scored for Viborg FF.
For 5 of the previous 6 clashes involving Odense BK, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game during that spell comes to a paltry 1.67, with the number of goals averaged by De Stribede equalling 0.5. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.
Their past results show that Odense BK:
- are undefeated by Randers in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
- are unbeaten in their previous 8 league matches away from home. They really have been good on their travels.

Team News: Randers
Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Randers gaffer Rasmus Bertelsen to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Edgar Babayan (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t play.
It seems likely that Hestene should employ a 4-4-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Patrik Carlgren, Oliver Olsen, Wessel Dammers, Daniel Hoeegh, Bjoern Kopplin, Lasso Coulibaly, Mads Enggaard, John Bjoerkengren, Ernest Agyiri, Mohammed Fuseini and Tammer Bany Odeh.
📰
Team News: Odense BK
Due to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Odense BK boss Søren Krogh doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game.
We believe De Stribede seem most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, going with Viljar Myhra, Tobias Slotsager, Filip Helander, James Gomez, Leeroy Owusu, Nicklas Mouritsen, Tom Trybull, Rami Al Hajj, Don Deedson Louicius, Max Fenger and Bashkim Kadrii.

In our view, Odense BK have enough to score against this Randers lineup, although it may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
