Randers-Brøndby preview

Sunday 31/5 16.00

Randers (4th) are still in the hunt for 3rd place, but they need a win here. Randers have been looking better in recent matches, perhaps due to a more consistent good situation in squad situation. Only absence is central defender Mads Agesen, but young Jeppe Tverskov has been a fine replacement. Randers will try to dominate this match through a stronger physique. IF they can turn this match into a fight, it will be difficult for Brøndby. Winger Jonas Kamper are showing good things on the flank and his crosses could be deadly given the strong strikers of Randers (Fall, Ishak, Brock-Madsen). Brøndby (3rd) are showing great form at the moment. They have won the last five away matches after only winning 1 away match in 10 attempts. Brøndby seem to have become better as the pitches improve with is more suiting for their small and technical gifted players. However, it is also evident that they need their influential rock at the back, central defender Daniel Agger. Brøndby win fewer matches and concedes significantly more goals when Agger is out, which is the case here due to a ban. It is especially problematic since Agger’s strength in the air would have been vital. Brøndby will hope to avoid dangerous situation by keeping the ball on own feet, but they will have to be very good on the ball to succeed.

The absence of Agger is hugely important for Brøndby. In our opinion it is plenty of reason for making Randers the favourite here. Brøndby seem very fragile without him. Randers on the other hand will see their opportunity to open up the fight for the 3rd place and they will be motivated to end the season with a good effort in front of own fans. We would pick the home win here.
