Randers-FC Vestsjælland

Friday 8/8 18.30

Randers (4th) have been a pleasant surprise this season. After losing star striker Ronnie Schwartz, many had expected Randers to face difficulties. That has not happened so far. Randers have a physical team with experienced players. The key player is winger Kasper Fisker, who has great vision and shooting skills. Only injury concern is winger Jonas Borring, but he is just a rotation player. FC Vestsjælland (8th) have changed approach under new head coach Michael Hansen. Last season it was all about defending. This season it is also about attacking. FC Vestsjælland are the most scoring team thus far, and only lack of cynicism is the reason for not having maximum points (dropped points in two matches where they had two goal lead). FC Vestsjælland are suddenly a very direct team, while they are still a team with great physique. Marc Rochester and Michael Lumb are still injured, while regular offensive midfielder Marc Dal Hende is doubtful.

We expect a very entertaining match, between two teams willing to take risks in order to make something happen offensively. The bookies seem to believe that FC Vestsjælland are still the very defensive minded team of last season, why odds on goals are very attractive. We also believe that FC Vestsjælland should be able to bring some points home to Zealand.
