FC Vestsjælland-Randers

Friday 21/11 18.30

FC Vestsjælland (10th) have been showing some terrible football in the recent matches. If they had lost the last six matches it would not have been unfair, but they somehow managed to claim four points in the process. Bottom-line is that they are not performing very well, and in terms of current strength we would consider calling them the weakest in the league. What is not working? Well, first and foremost is the team’s traditional force, the defence, not well organized at the moment. Especially if FC Vestsjælland go behind, it is almost certain that they will lose (often with several goals). Offensive they have the speed of Rasmus Festersen as the main strength and he does a good job, but that is simply not enough when the rest of the team are experiencing such a poor period. Randers (2nd) are a completely different story. It must be fun to be a Randers fan at the moment, because no matter whom they face, they have a good chance of winning. They are on the other hand well organized, and possess in general much more quality. Offensively they are still too inconsistent, but with the return of Nicolai Brock-Madsen (scored for Denmark U21 against Italy in midweek) to old strength Randers should have several weapons in the toolbox.  Randers face one concern for the upcoming match and that is the absence of left midfielder Elmar Bjarnason due to suspension. Bjarnason has had a great season and he is excellent at holding up the ball and securing midfield stability. Alternatives do not have the same qualities: Jonas Kamper is very offensive minded, while Adama Tamboura has defensive skills but lack on-the-ball skills. Randers should benefit from the return of central defender Mads Agesen from suspension. With him back Randers will again field the strong central defence duo with Agesen and Fenger.

At the moment we feel there is a quality difference here, and we believe that Randers should be capable of winning every second away match in the current situation. This implies fine value in the away win, and we therefore post this as a recommendation.

Recommendation: 2 – 2.05 at Unibet
