Randers in line to take points over Sonderjyske

Mid-table Randers play third from bottom club Sonderjyske at their AutoC Park on Monday night and the hosts could jump into fourth place if they take all three points on offer tonight.

Randers have been in solid form overall in the last few weeks with just the one loss in their last seven and eight matches overall, with wins over Copenhagen 3-1 away and fourth placed Esbjerg 3-2 at home with draws against Viborg, Odense and most recently away at Brondby. Understandably, they lost at home to Midtjylland 1-3 but they are leading the Danish Superleague and are yet to lose so far this season.

Randers now return again at home and play host to a Sonderjyske side who have yet to win on the road to date having drawn one and lost two. As mentioned earlier, Randers have been solid and in particular at home where they’ve lost just twice in their last ten league matches.

The danger man up front for Randers is striker Ronnie Schwartz (6 goals) and he could be considered for an anytime goalscorer.

Sonderjyske travel to Randers having picked up just one point from their first three away matches which was thanks to a 1-1 draw at Odense, but since that point they’ve succumbed to league leaders Midtjylland 1-2 and AGF 1-3 last weekend. The visitors’ overall league form has taken a dip though as they’ve lost three of their last four which also includes a 0-3 loss at home to Viborg.

Sonderjyske look a bit light on attacking options with midfielder Madsen (3 goals) being their leading goalscorer which emphasizes this point. In addition, it’s worth taking note that their last visit to Randers ended in a 0-2 defeat.

Randers have shown in recent weeks that they’re a hard nut to crack, particularly at home and I’ll give the quarter ball on them tonight for a bit of insurance, but I expect the hosts to get up eventually tonight. Could be a 2-1 win for Randers.

Pick:  Randers AH-0.25 @ 1.79 Pinnacle
