Randers head into the new Danish Superliga season after finishing 10th last term with 35 points from nine wins, eight draws and 15 defeats.

The Horses endured a mixed pre-season campaign, recording one victory from five friendlies, with their final warm-up fixture ending in a 2-2 draw against Lechia Gdansk.

Randers will hope home advantage can provide a solid foundation after suffering just one defeat in their final four league matches at Cepheus Park last season.

Summer arrivals Kasper Junker and Mohamed Sankoh have strengthened Rasmus Bertelsen's squad, and both players could make their competitive debuts on Monday.

Silkeborg start the new campaign after also finishing ninth in the Danish Superliga last season with 36 points from 10 wins, six draws and 16 defeats.

The visitors recorded three victories from six pre-season fixtures, losing the other three, and they head into the season after a 2-1 win over Aalborg, having previously beaten Thisted 6-0.

SIF will take confidence from winning four of their final seven league matches last season, although they lost the last two by an aggregate score of 8-1 against Copenhagen and Fredericia respectively.

Meanwhile, Silkeborg are the more recent winners of this fixture after securing a 2-0 victory over Randers in April, having also claimed a 3-0 success at Randers Stadium when the sides met a month earlier.

Silkeborg have added Lucas Riisgaard to their squad this summer, but replacing the goals of Tonni Adamsen, who scored 19 times in all competitions before his departure, could prove to be their biggest challenge.

Monday's fixture is also Morten Dahm Kjaergaard's first competitive outing as Silkeborg boss. The former Aarhus Fremad coach replaced Kent Nielsen in June and has overseen the club's pre-season programme.

Whispers predicts: Randers 1-1 Silkeborg

This is the opening league match of the season, making it difficult to predict with little recent competitive form to assess, although previous meetings and pre-season performances provide useful indicators.

While Randers were involved in several high-scoring friendlies, the recent head-to-head record suggests goals have often been difficult to come by in this fixture.

Taking both trends into account, both teams to score appeals at 8/13 (1.62), while under 2.5 goals also offers value at 11/10 (2.10).

Those selections point towards a draw, which is available at 13/5 (3.60), and that also supports a 1-1 correct score prediction at 11/2 (6.50).

There should still be a clear winner in the corner market, with Randers averaging more corners than Silkeborg across their last six matches, making the home side to have the most corners at 4/9 (1.44) a solid option.
