FC Midtjylland-Randers preview

Monday 4/5 19.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) will be the champion. It seems highly unlikely that they will lose their 12 points advantage with just seven matches remaining. This also means that they might be taking the matches a bit lightly at the moment. FC Midtjylland dominated the league SoTR in autumn (66.1%), but they have been more human in 2015, where they are only second after Brøndby (58.3%). A partial explanation is the many injuries. For this match, talismanic captain Kristian Bach Bak is out. FC Midtjylland have only dropped two points in the 15 matches he has played more than a half. In the remaining 11 matches, FC Midtjylland have dropped points! Other important absent players are winger Pione Sisto and central defender Jim Larsen. Positive is the return of Swedish midfielder Kristoffer Olsson, but he is not ready for a starting role just yet. Randers (3rd) are finding some form. The 3-0 win against FC Copenhagen last weekend was very impressive, and showed how strong a team they are when all players are fit. This should also be the case here. The players that there is some doubts regarding, winger Jonas Borring and striker Djiby Fall, are not regular starters. The return of captain Christian Keller has looked particularly important for Randers, since he has giant importance in securing good defensive organisation. Offensively, Mikael Ishak has been in great form. He scored twice last weekend after some impressive finishing and he is currently being rumoured to Heerenveen.

FC Midtjylland have won all 13 home matches this season, which is a highly unique statistic. Despite of this frightening statistic, we urge you not to be too confident in the home win. FC Midtjylland have not played very good recently and against a strong team on a high like Randers, their impressive streak could come to an end. We go against statistics and side with Randers here.
