Randers – FC Copenhagen

Sunday 27/10 17.00

After another loss in Champions League against Galatasaray (1-3) the defending champions FC Copenhagen (7th) might start to focus more on the league, wherein Copenhagen after two wins in a row are back in the title race. This could be bad news for Randers (9th). With left back Pierre Bengtsson returning a strengthened squad will head to Randers. The creativity comes from the wingers and right-winger Rurik Gislason seems to be in good form. A problem is that he will be opposite Adama Tamboura who just might be the best left back in the league. On the other side of the pitch Nicolai Jørgensen is up against Johnny Thomsen. This is a clear mismatch to Jørgensen’s favour. The chances that FC Copenhagen are making are coming from the wingers and with an advantage like this, Randers could be in trouble. Even though FC Copenhagen had a midweek match it might not affect them. Perhaps on the contrary, since 2009 they have gotten 2.6 points per match after a Champions League match. The game against AaB also showed that they might be on the right track again, though the need for a striker is obvious. Igor Vetokele is starting to stir things up a bit but he still needs to prove that he is the one for FC Copenhagen.

The champions are on the right tracks and in this week Randers will be on the receiving end. They are favourites and poised to win. There are some uncertainty about the line-up for both teams: Tamboura and Borring are doubtful for Randers, while FC Copenhagen coach Solbakken might make some changes to his squad after the poor performance in Istanbul. With these conditions in mind, we limit this to a betting idea.
