FC Copenhagen Team News
Although last season Copenhagen did not finish the regular part of the competition in the leading position, in the second phase, through the Champions League playoffs, they managed to surpass Nordsjaelland in the standings and eventually won the Danish championship title with a four-point advantage.
This time, Jacob Neestrup’s team did not manage to repeat last year’s success. Namely, Copenhagen finished the first part of the season in third place, and the standings did not change even after an additional ten rounds.
Copenhagen played very poorly in the last three league matches, losing to Midtjylland at home 1-2, and then away to Aarhus 3-2. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Nordsjaelland at their Parken Stadium, so they ended the season with 59 points, which is four points less than the new champion Midtjylland, and three points less than second-placed Brondby.
However, on Friday, Copenhagen will have the opportunity to secure qualification for the third most important European football competition, the Conference League, if they defeat Randers in front of their fans, who were the best in the group deciding who gets relegated from the Danish Superliga.
Randers FC Team News
Randers performed quite well in the group that decided who gets relegated from the company of the best teams in Denmark. They achieved five victories, three draws, and two losses, and with a total of 41 points from 32 matches, they secured a final clash with Copenhagen, with the winner earning qualification for the Conference League next season.
Rasmus Bertelsen’s team celebrated in the last round in front of their fans against Vejle with a 1-0 result, thanks to an own goal by Spanish defender Raul Albentosa in the 81st minute, in a match that the visitors ended with one player less.
What might worry the fans ahead of the upcoming duel with Copenhagen is that Randers lost in their previous two away matches in the league to Lyngby (2-1) and Odense (2-0), as well as the fact that Copenhagen is a much more successful club in their head-to-head encounters, especially when playing at their home stadium.

FC Copenhagen vs Randers FC Prediction
Despite Copenhagen finishing the season below expectations, Jacob Neestrup’s team is significantly better than their next opponent, Randers. Given that Copenhagen has defeated Randers twice this competitive year, both times by two or more goals, we expect a similar outcome on Friday at Parken Stadium.
