Randers FC have had a turbulent break and should finally be able to focus on playing football again. Randers have a new coach, Icelandic Olafur Kristjansson, who should be able to ensure a bit more stability on the field. Players such as Christian Keller, Mustafa Amini, Kalle Johnsson and Kasper Junker all departed over the last few weeks but Randers have signed goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson, who put in some solid performances for Iceland during the Euros. He only joins the squad on Monday, so there are doubts over whether he is ready to play.
FC Midtjylland have opened a Superliga season with a win in the last three consecutive seasons and with not too much change from routine over the break they are the favorites to continue this streak. Randers have had a complete overall in the changing room with most aspects of the team having gone under dramatic change. Randers have said goodbye to a lot of quality, while there is still some turmoil with Mandla Masango, who was voted Player of the Season by the club’s fans in the 2015/16 campaign, potentially being absent after reportedly requesting a transfer.
Combining this analysis with the statistics below, we expect Midtjylland’s top form and solidity to be too much for Randers when the two sides meet on Monday. Midtjylland to win at 8/11 is our choice for a safe bet and Midtjylland to win 2-0 at 13/2 with bet365 is our top value correct score bet for this match.
Midtjylland won 1-0 at home to Randers in a preseason friendly about a month back. Midtjylland are unbeaten against Randers in the last 14 consecutive meetings between the two sides, with 12 wins and 2 draws.
Midtjylland won all 7 of their preseason matches (4 club friendlies and 3 Europa League qualifiers), with 6 of these being wins "to nil". Midtjylland are unbeaten in 12 fixtures with 11 wins and 1 draw. Randers played just 3 preseason friendly matches, winning 2 and losing one.
Midtjylland's only transfer over the break was the release of 31 year old midfielder Petter Andersson (73 appearances since 2012) to Swedish side Hammarby. Austrian Martin Pusic, Midtjylland's top scorer last season (13 goals in 25 appearances, remains at the club.
Randers, contrastingly, were very active during the break with 5 transfers out and 4 transfers in. Randers were also able to hold onto their Swedish scoring duo Ishak and Lundberg who scored a total of 20 goals between them over 28 appearances. Mandla Masango, who was voted Player of the Season by the club’s fans in the 2015/16 campaign has reportedly requested a transfer and may be absent. Mikael Ishak is also doubtful after picking up an injury in the last preseason friendly. Watch Live stream free Click Here | Link 2#
