FC Midtjylland will face Randers FC in the Superliga on Sunday, 23 August 2026 at 14:00 on MCH Arena. The match will be officiated by referee J. Maae and broadcast on TV3 Sport.

Recent results

FC Midtjylland has just defeated Croatian Rijeka in the Conference League playoff. Although they have 7 points from 3 games and are off to a good start, they have yet to dominate in the Superliga. The playoff win has given them a morale boost that they hope to bring to the home match against Randers.

Lineup and key players

FC Midtjylland will be missing Ousmane Diao, Victor Bak, Mikel Gogorza and Junior Brumado. New centre-back Magnus Jensen has played a great match in the centre of the Midtjylland defence and will likely be part of the new lineup. Philip Billing has surprisingly taken a role in the defensive chain to get more ball touches, which may be important in the match against Randers.

Strategy and expectations
