- Head-to-head: OB Odense have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings in all competitions, with Randers FC failing to win any and the last meeting ending 0-0.
- Recent form: OB Odense recently beat FC Fredericia 1-0 at home and lost their last away game 3-1 to Silkeborg IF, so home advantage is key.
- Away form: Randers FC are unbeaten in three away games, taking two wins and a draw.
OB to edge out an important relegation dogfight
Table battle
OB Odense will test Randers FC’s character on Sunday as two clubs desperate to maintain their place in the Superliga face off in the relegation group. OB sit second in the table on 34 points after 26 games while Randers FC are a further four points behind in third.
Playing styles
The contrast in playing styles between Alexander Zorniger’s OB and Rasmus Bertelsen’s Randers FC should make for an interesting contest with the hosts likely to set the pace in a high-tempo, high-intensity match. Zorniger’s side like to press their opponents all over the field in a narrow formation, while Randers FC will sit compact and seek to counter-attack with more discipline.
Odds
OB Odense 2.1, Randers FC 3.1 and Draw 3.6 are the odds on offer ahead of Sunday’s Superliga Relegation Group 2026 clash, but the hosts look a bit short considering Randers FC’s away form.
Randers can make a mark on the match
Randers FC have won four, drawn four and lost five of their 13 Superliga away games this season, averaging 1.15 goals scored and 1.08 goals conceded per game on the road.
- OB Odense have won six, drawn three and lost four of their 13 home Superliga matches this season, conceding 25 goals, so the bookies have got this wrong and we should probably expect a few goals.
- With both teams in the relegation group fighting for their Superliga survival, it is a big game for both clubs and any tactical adjustments made could swing the game in either direction.
- However, with OB’s home advantage, recent head-to-head record and the odds on the game, a home win is the most likely outcome, but Randers are capable of getting something from the match given their recent away form.
Elies Mahmoud can be the difference
Elies Mahmoud is Randers FC’s main goal threat with two goals in four Superliga Relegation Group 2026 appearances, while Jona Niemiec leads the line for OB Odense with one goal in the same number of games.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 looks a bit on the low side given OB’s leaky home defence and both teams’ desire to get the three points, so we’re going to boost that odds by taking the unders in this one.
OB should win, but Randers could make life difficult for the home side, who will have to be at their best to take the three points.
