Randers and FC Copenhagen bring round 18 of the Danish Superliga to an end when they lock horns at the Cepheus Park Randers on Monday. Rasmus Bertelsen’s side will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last five meetings since April 2023.
Randers made it two wins from two to wrap up their mid-season friendly schedule as they thrashed Kryvbas 5-1 when the two teams met at the Pinatar Arena Football Center a fortnight ago.
Bertelsen’s men now turn their attention to the Superliga, where they have won five of their last six matches and are unbeaten in 11 of 12 since losing back-to-back games against Silkeborg and Sonderjyske in August.
With 30 points from 17 matches, Randers are currently fifth in the Superliga standings, level on points with fourth-placed Brondby.
