Peter Green - October 20, 2018
Randers vs Sonderjyske
Denmark – Superliga
Date: Sunday, 21st October 2018
Kick-off at 13.00 UK/ 14.00 CET
Venue: BioNutria Park, Randers.
Evenly matched Randers hosts Sonderjyske at the BioNutria Park this Sunday. As we witness the thirteenth round of the Superliga, Randers has 14 points from 12 matches and Sonderjyske has 15 points from the same.
Defensively Sonderjyske has been a tad better with just 16 goals conceded so far whereas Randers let in 20 goals.
The referee Johanssen M, from Denmark itself, will have a busy time at his hands once the whistle is blown as both teams have a tendency to commit unnecessary fouls and get into the book.
Sonderjyske has had a terrible away form in this season. Having lost eight of their last 15 away matches, the visitors understand that they are walking in for a hard-fought, sweat-ridden ninety minutes. Randers has a far superior home record when compared to Sonderjyske’s away record.
The comparison isn’t fair, I know. But football doesn’t understand that.
The one good thing going for both teams is that they know how to hold on to their leads once they put a ball into the opposite net. It would be hard for the other team to break the tightly structured backline once they concede.
The stats back this observation, with the last eight matches in a row failing to tick the ‘Both Teams Scored’ checkbox.
