Randers

LDWWLL

Randers will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 3-2 Superliga losing effort in their last game against FC Midtjylland.

In that game, Randers managed 42% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For Randers, the goalscorers were Simen Nordli (37') and Elies Mahmoud (73'). FC Midtjylland had 17 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Kevin Mbabu (13') and Edward Chilufya (84', 90') scored for FC Midtjylland.

It has been seldom in recent times that Randers have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Randers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 14 goals along the way.

Silkeborg IF

DWWWLL

After tasting defeat last time out to FC Copenhagen in DBU Pokalen competition, Silkeborg IF will be aiming to make amends here.

Jordan Larsson (3'), Lukas Lerager (34') and Mohamed Elyounoussi (38') scored for FC Copenhagen.

Looking at their form, and Silkeborg IF have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 9 goals in total. In defence, Silkeborg IF seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.

ℹ️ Team News: Randers

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Randers gaffer Rasmus Bertelsen to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Florian Danho (Leg injury) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, Hestene will possibly make use of the 4-3-3 formation for this one featuring Paul Izzo, Oliver Olsen, Daniel Hoeegh, Wessel Dammers, Nikolas Dyhr, John Bjoerkengren, Andre Roemer, Mathias Greve, Simen Bolkan Nordli, Elies Mahmoud and Mohamed Toure.

📰 Team News: Silkeborg IF

Silkeborg IF manager Kent Nielsen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Younes Bakiz (unknown injury), Pontus Rödin (Knee injury), Alexander Madsen (Hamstring injury) and Sofus Berger (Foot bruise) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that De røde appear most likely to play in a 4-3-2-1 system, starting the game with Nicolai Larsen, Jens Martin Gammelby, Robin Oestroem, Pedro Ganchas, Andreas Poulsen, Mads Larsen, Pelle Mattsson, Anders Klynge, Callum McCowatt, Tonni Adamsen and A. Illum Simmelhack.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Silkeborg IF should have enough to put one past this Randers team, but that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 win for Randers when the full-time whistle blows. Could easily see this go either way.
