Randers FC face a crucial fixture in their fight to avoid relegation in Denmark when they take on OB on Monday evening.
After a much-needed win against Vejle last week, the hosts look to move further away from the Superliga drop zone against an OB side that slipped to defeat against Silkeborg last time out.
The hosts have struggled in recent encounters between these sides, and will need to be at their best if they are to record back-to-back league wins at Cepheus Park Randers.

Randers FC team overview
Randers FC come into Monday’s crucial Superliga fixture in high spirits after a vital 1:0 win against Vejle last weekend. Despite being reduced to ten min in the first-half following the dismissal of Cyril Edudzi, Elies Mahmoud’s second-half penalty secured a huge victory for Rasmus Bertelsen’s side.
The Horses now find themselves outside of the relegation zone, two points clear of FC Frederica with just two games to play.
Monday’s hosts had failed to win any of six previous league fixtures, including an entertaining 2:2 draw against Frederica in their previous match at Cepheus Park Randers.
Indeed a lack of clean sheets has been a big concern for the home side. Randers conceded at least one goal in eight of nine previous fixtures before last weekend’s 1:0 win against Vejle.
Head coach Bertelsen will be forced into at least one change to his selection on Monday. Cyril Edudzi misses out after his red card last weekend.
Frederik Lauenborg is also expected to remain sidelined with a minor knock.

OB team overview
OB make the trip to Cepheus Park after a 3:2 home reversal against Silkeborg last weekend. Nicolas Bürgy saw red in the second-half as the visitors claimed a well-deserved win at Nature Energy Park.
Alexander Zorniger’s side have found some form in recent weeks, but remain frustratingly inconsistent. OB won three and lost three of their last six league fixtures. They had failed to win six of seven previous Superliga fixtures.
Usually a reliable choice for goal chasers, six of their eight most recent matches saw both teams get on the scoresheet. Similarly consistent on the road, six of eight previous away fixtures also saw BTTS land.
Head coach Zorninger will make at least one change to his first XI on Monday. Nicolas Bürgy is suspended after his red card against Silkeborg.
The visitors have no further selection issues reported.

Prediction
Randers need the points but a poor recent record in this fixture suggests they are unlikely to keep the back door closed.
With that in mind, I have my stake in BTTS in Monday’s Superliga contest.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Randers FC have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches
- OB have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 matches
- OB have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 away matches
