OB-Randers

Thursday 8/5 18.00

OB (7th) won 1-0 in AGF and are now clear of the relegation line. The victory was nothing special and had it not been for a momemt of brilliance by key players Rasmus Falk and Baskhim Kadrii it would probably have ended 0-0. OB are very dependent of how that duo plays. Unfortunately Kadrii is still suffering from the side effects of a serious knee injury and is limited to play one half per match currently. Defensively OB got a rare clean sheet,  but that should be credited the harmless AGF attack, since OB’s defense is not exactly rock solid. It was concerning to watch one of the star players, winger Emil Larsen, look so uncommitted. OB will clearly have to make some changes in the summer window if they are to climb positions in the table next season. Randers (8th) suffered a unfair defeat against FC Nordsjælland (0-1). Randers dominated the shooting statistic 21-7, but in the end FC Nordsjælland capitalized on their only shot on target. Randers failed to create very big chances, but that could be easier against OB. Randers have a nice team with some fine players, but they are very dependent of the mood of striker Ronnie Schwartz. If Schwartz has a bad day, they lack alternatives to find the net. The Swede Viktor Lundberg is clearly not the solution (4 goals in 27 matches). Randers are the league’s most difficult team to defeat at home (Randers have only lost two away matches out of 14).  The last five H2H’s have ended in three draws and two Randers wins.

Two teams stuck in no mans land without much to play for. It should be a fairly equal match. Adding that OB are nothing special at home (only four wins in 14 matches) and Randers are difficult to beat, we believe the bookies are underestimating the away team here. With the hope of Ronnie Schwartz having a good day, we select Randers (Draw No Bet) as our Tip of the Week. Unibet is offering a lot more than the rest right now, so you better hurry.

Tip of the Week: 2 (DNB) – 2.45 at Unibet

UPDATE: Odds have already dropped. 2.30 is okay though. Especially with the information that regular midfielder Martin Spelmann will be suspended for OB.
