Randers can go top of the Danish Superliga table with a win on Monday when they travel to Odense for a matchday four encounter.
The Horses have started the season brightly and now have the chance to move into first place after leaders Copenhagen slipped up against Aarhus on Friday.
The trip to Fyn, however, will not be straightforward. Odense may be short of form at present, but this is a fixture where they have often held the upper hand.

Odense vs Randers predictions: Goals should flow
Key facts:
- Randers have failed to win any of their last six league meetings with Odense (4D, 2L).
- Every Odense match this season has featured a goal in the first half, while the same has occurred in two of Randers’ three games.
- Four of the last six league clashes between these sides have ended all square, with three finishing 2-2.
Correct score prediction: Odense 2–2 Randers
With three of the last six league encounters producing the same 2-2 scoreline, it would not be surprising to see history repeat itself. Odense’s home advantage should help offset their less explosive start compared to the visitors, making a high-scoring draw a realistic outcome.

Odense preview: Zorniger to make changes?
The Striped earned an immediate return to the top flight this term and began with a solid draw and a win in their first two games. However, a heavy 4-0 defeat at Vejle last time out halted their momentum, leaving them with four points from three matches and sitting eighth in the standings.
Head coach Alexander Zorniger may look to freshen up his line-up following that setback, though Noah Ganaus is expected to keep his place after a bright start to the campaign.

Randers preview: Bertelsen to stick with winning formula?
The Horses remain unbeaten in this season’s Superliga, having picked up two wins and a draw from their opening three games. A 1-0 victory over Silkeborg in the last round kept them in second place, just two points behind Copenhagen. As mentioned earlier, a win here would send Randers to the top after the leaders’ slip-up on Friday.
Rasmus Bertelsen is expected to keep faith with the same starting eleven for a third straight match, given the positive results.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Paul Izzo and defender Oliver Jones are still sidelined as they recover from hip and knee injuries, respectively.
Predicted XI: Storch (GK), Olsen, Hoegh, Dammers, Dyhr, Pedersen, Bjorkengren, Mahmoud, Campbell, Greve & Toure

Player to watch: Noah Ganaus
The pacey German forward will be looking to stretch the Randers defence and cause problems down the flank. Since joining in the summer, he has scored twice in three appearances and looks to have settled in quickly. After drawing a blank in the defeat at Vejle, Ganaus will be keen to return to scoring ways in front of the home crowd.
