FC Midtjylland - Randers FC

FC Midtjylland look to maintain their recent defensive solidity as they return to domestic action following a successful European campaign. The hosts welcome Randers FC to MCH Arena on 23 August 2026 for this Danish Superliga matchday 5 encounter, aiming to build on a midweek victory over Rijeka.

Midtjylland have navigated a busy schedule, balancing league duties with qualification ties, and will rely on an expected XI featuring Philip Billing and Dario Osorio to control the tempo. Conversely, Randers arrive following a heavy league defeat to FC Koebenhavn and face a significant challenge as they contend with the absences of injured duo John Bjoerkengren and Mohamed Sankoh. While Randers secured a cup win against ASA Aarhus recently, they must tighten their defensive structure to compete with a Midtjylland side that has consistently found the net in recent outings.
