Randers will host Galatasaray at Cepheus Park on Thursday as a leader in the Danish top tier and current cup holder. Galatasaray won in the first game of the season in the Turkish league, but that victory will be remembered for the red card that Brasilian defender Marcao got trying to beat his teammate on the pitch. Read our Randers vs Galatasaray prediction and betting tips.
Randers started the season on a high level, with four wins and just a draw in the first five games. Top table place is just another prize for a team that won a cup trophy in the last term. They don’t have big experience in Europe, they are just for the sixth time in qualifiers, never reaching the group stage of any UEFA competition. Randers don’t have a great history, they were founded in 2003, and they were bouncing between the First and Second league for several years. Their best table position in the Danish Superliga was third from the 2012/13 season, but they won the Danish cup twice.
They are full of confidence after a good start in the league and eager to play their European matches but on the other end, it is clear that they don‘t have enough individual quality or experience on this level of competition. Randers coach Thomas Thomasberg is certain that Simon Graves and Jesper Lauridsen are sidelined because of injury, and Nigerian Vincent Onovo is ineligible. Alhaji Camar will have a late fitness test before the game. Randers will try to score on set-pieces and they rely on a good atmosphere among players and great fighting spirit. Fans will be fired up for this rare occasion to cheer their club against the European elite team.
Randers: Carlgren; Kallesoe, Piesinger, Marxen, Kopplin; Klysner, Johnsen, Hammershoy-Mistrati, Lauenborg, Tibbling; Egho
Galatasaray lost the title in Turkey in the last season in the last game and due to goal difference against Besiktas. They have a good roster full of experienced veteran players that can still make a difference in European competitions. They had a tough draw in the qualifiers for the Champions League and PSV was better 7-2 on aggregate as they revealed many defensive issues that Galatasaray had in those matches. In the last round of the qualifiers, they were better than Scottish St. Johnstone, and a 4-2 away win was enough for a 5-3 overall score for them to pass into the next round.
Fatih Terim is a club legend but he will be under big pressure if he fails to advance in the group stages of the Europe League. The atmosphere in the team is not on the highest level because in the first round of the Turkish league, despite their 2-0 lead against Giresun, central defender Marcao punched few times his teammate Akturkoglu and received a straight red card. Some reports from Turkey are suggesting that he will be in the squad for the next match. The man who is in the best shape and form right now is Diagne. Senegalese striker had his great moments against St. Johnstone and Giresun but also missed a penalty in the last game. His speed and stamina should be a real problem for Danish players.
Galatasaray: Muslera; Yedlin, Luyindama, Marcao, Van Aanholt; Akturkoglu, Kutlu, Antalyali, Kara, Babel; Diagne

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
