AaB-Randers

Sunday 20/4 17.00

AaB (1st) are unstoppable at the moment with eight wins in the last nine matches (cup matches included). Their midfield is really exceptional. They are playing with a lot of tranquility and they do not seem to panic even though they are on the verge of securing a surprising championship title. Last round they got an easy win in Viborg without using much energy (2-0).  Unfortunately, their strong attacker Rasmus Jönsson who is vital in the chance creation is out with a groin injury. Anders K. Jacobsen will replace him, but he is more of a goalgetter than a chance creator, so in that sense he is quite similar to AaB’s other frontman Lukas Spalvis. We will see if it will cause AaB problems. It surely could. Randers (8th) were poor in Esbjerg but managed to get a point despite of the effort (2-2). Randers have now earned seven points in the last three matches. Actually it is a bit conflicting since Randers played better matches at the start of 2014 without earning any points. It is especially the return of striker Ronnie Schwartz that has helped. Schwartz has been cynical, scoring in the last three matches. A very decisive match-up will be whether Randers’ midfielder duo Bjarnason and Keller can fight off AaB’s Würtz and Risgård. The latter are definitely favourites to win that duel.

For us it is no bet match. AaB are favourites and we believe the bookies have set the current odds fairly. If anything Randers might be able to defend a point, which they have been quite good at this season (only lost two out of 13 away matches – eight draws!).
