FC Midtjylland vs Randers FC Preview – Match Preview
FC Midtjylland are doing well in the Danish Superliga this season, collecting 18 points from nine matches and standing 3rd on the table.
They had a good run of three wins in a row – beating Vejle 2-0, Silkeborg 4-2, and Brøndby 3-1. That streak ended with a 1-0 loss against Nordsjælland, but they quickly bounced back last weekend with a 2-0 home win over Viborg.
In Europe, the Wolves also impressed in their Europa League group opener, defeating Sturm Graz 2-0 at home, with goals credited to an Oliver Christensen own goal and Osman Diao.
Randers FC, on the other hand, have earned 13 points from nine games (4 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses) and are currently in 5th place.
They struggled badly in the second half of August, losing three matches in a row – 2-0 to Brøndby, 1-0 to Fredericia, and 5-1 to Copenhagen.
After the international break, they turned things around by beating SønderjyskE 1-0 away, thanks to a goal from Oliver Olsen assisted by Nikolas Dyhr.
Last weekend, Randers FC made it two wins in a row with a strong 3-0 victory over Nordsjælland, where Daniel Høegh scored twice and was the star of the match.
