Copenhagen hosts Randers in the capital in a decisive playoff in the Danish Superliga. The winner here will win a spot in the UEFA Conference League. Let’s preview it in our Betting on underdogs in football matches.
Copenhagen brought a disappointment to their fans as they finished third in the Superliga this season. But they still have a chance to qualify for Europe. Now Jacob Neestrup’s boys must use this opportunity. They owe it to the fans.
A few days ago Copenhagen hosted Nordsjalland at home, but only got a point after a 1-1 draw at the Parken. Viktor Claesson put the hosts ahead, but Conrad Harder equalised with a late goal in the 87th minute. Once again Copenhagen’s defense was not reliable enough. That’s a problem Jacob Neestrup must fix as quick as possible for the next season. And the next match, of course.
The Norwegian International Mohamed Elyounoussi remains Copenhagen’s top scorer in the league this season. The former Southampton player has scored 9 goals in the Superliga. His level was high this season.
Randers finished first in the relegation round of the Superliga. They won 41 points in total, winning two of their last three matches in the league, too. For the manager Rasmus Bertelsen and his players it’d be a massive achievement to qualify for the Conference League.
In their last match Randers faced Vejle at home and secured an important 1-0 win. The only goal in the game was scored in the 81th minute when Vejle’s Raul Albentosa scored himself an own goal. It was a bad luck for the visiting team’s player.
That’s the Betting on underdogs in football matches guide for the Superliga Conference League playoff between Copenhagen and Randers. Copenhagen are favorites here, but be careful – their season was not the best. Let’s see what Randers can do here.
