Midtjylland take on the visitors Randers in the round 1 match of Danish Superliga. The match will be played on Friday, July 15th at MCH Arena (Herning).
Midtjylland remain one of the leaders in their country's football. The "Wolves" were founded only in 1999. But they quickly progressed, and now, less than a quarter of a century later, they became the champion of the country three times. The last time gold was won was in 2020. But after that, the team became vice-champion twice, besides, in the spring they took the cup, the 2nd in history. They are also trying to prove themselves in European competitions. In the last draw, the Danes played in the group stage of the Europa League and only lost on penalties in the playoffs of the Conference League to PAOK. This was enough for Bo Henriksen, who became a coach in 2021, to retain his position.

Randers has shown good results in recent years. The Horses as a whole is a rather modest club. The last time they were promoted to the Danish Super League was in 2012 - by the way, they immediately took bronze. This could not be repeated, in the last championship, for example, there was only 6th place. But in 2021, it was possible to win the cup, for the second time in history (before that it was success in 2006). This success allowed the Danes to reach the Conference League, and there, taking 2nd place in the group with AZ, Jablonec and CFR (Cluj), Randers reached the playoffs. But Leicester was there and the English club won easily enough, 3-1 and 4-1. This, of course, affected the performances in the domestic arena, but nothing particularly threatens the positions of Thomas Thomasberg. This mentor took over as head coach back in 2018, and it is he who is rightfully considered the main creator of the Horses' recent successes.
Randers last won a head-to-head 10 years ago, and then within the cup. All 4 last head-to-head fights have invariably ended in Midtjylland's victories. It is unlikely that Randers is now ready to reverse the negative trend with a strong opponent. We bet on another victory for Midtjylland.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win.
