OB-Randers preview

Sunday 16/8 18.00

OB (3rd) have had a good start to the season with some good results, that have made fans and media very positive. It is especially OB’s strong attacking production with the likes of Rasmus Falk and Rasmus Festersen that has impressed. The problem is the defence, which is quite weak, and the situation in the goal is not good either. 1st choice goalkeeper Michael Falkesgaard left last match with a serious injury and OB will need to find a new keeper fast or led youngster Casper Radza get his first start. OB seem a bit overrated; they have actually only been the better team in one match this season (home match against Hobro). Randers (7th) have been uncharacteristically poor in defending which has probably left them 5 points shorter than what they should have been. They should have earned more since they have looked fairly good in all three matches and really been strong offensively with in-form Viktor Lundberg as the standout player. Last seasons top goalscorer, Mikael Ishak, returns from injury, while midfielders Mustafa Amini and Kasper Fisker are still banned.

OB have earned a lot of goodwill from the locals and will probably get good support here. However, Randers look like a much more complete team without as obvious weaknesses as OB. This could be a even match, and if we were to pick a winner, it would be Randers.
