Betfair Live Video: Randers to deliver another home loss for sorry Sonderjyske

 

Kasımpaşa vs Bursaspor

Sunday 11:30

 

It's fourth against fifth in the Turkish Super League on Sunday morning as Bursaspor head North to Istanbul to take on Kasimpasa. Both teams have so far enjoyed solid  seasons and are only separated by goal difference.

 

Realistically as per usual the championship will be a tussle between the three Istanbul giants so for teams such as Bursaspor and Kasimpasa a Europa League  qualification place is the prize to strive for. At the moment Kasimpasa cling on to the last place but there are a host of clubs hot on their tails.

 

It's been a very impressive campaign for Kasimpasa, after being promoted last year they have adapted remarkably well to the top flight. Rangers' old boy Shota  Arveladze has proved himself to be an astute coach, his team are performing, especially at home where they have won three of their last four.

 

Their success has been built on two main factors; the tightest defence in the league and the exceptional form of Kala Uche. The Nigerian striker was signed from  Espanyol last summer and since his arrival he's netted 15 times, he is second only to Galtasaray's Yilmaz in the goal scorer charts.

 

Visitors Bursaspor miss that kind of player. They have a decent squad with numerous internationals but they don't have a talismanic forward that can be relied on.

 

Veterans Tuncay and Sestak were both trusty strikers in their day but the goals have dried up for those two years ago. Chilean Sebastian Pinto has delivered  occasionally but the most reliable goal getter on their team sheet is usually the Argentinean Pablo Batalla, his partnership with countrymen Belluschi in midfield is  what makes Bursa tick.

 

With both teams locked on 40 points and reluctant not to give the opposition the opportunity to overtake this could well be a cagey affair.

 

Bursa have been less than impressive on the road against teams in the top half of the table and so expect Kasimpasa to sneak a tight encounter and with Kasimpasa's  miserly defence it makes sense to look at the unders in the goal line.

Sonderjyske vs Randers

Sunday 14:00

 

Next up is a look at a big match from the Danish Superliga as struggling Sonderjyske host second placed Randers. Two teams that need a result for totally different  reasons.

 

Sonderjyske have had a miserable season so far, after finishing in mid table last year their performances have disappointed this time. Last week they got a much needed  win as they thumped bottom team Silkeborg by five goals but before that result their form had been shocking.

 

The biggest letdown has been their calamitous home record, they've only managed one win in their 11 home games, it's no wonder that they have the lowest attendance in  the league.

 

The most consistent performers for the South Jutlanders have been Lasse Vibe who bagged a hatrick last week and the Icelandic midfielder Eyjolfur Hedinsson who's a  real talent and a regular goal threat.

 

Randers have exceeded expectations, after promotion last year they are sitting comfortably in third place with only the dominant Copenhagen team and Nordsjaelland  ahead of them. The top two get Champions League qualifier spaces and Randers are only a point off Nordsjaelland. If they can nudge in front and then hang tough it  would be a huge accomplishment for manager Colin Todd and his team.

 

Most of the attention and accolades this year are going to Copenhagens young striking sensation Arnelius Cornelius but Randers have another player that has performed  almost to the same level. Ronnie Shwartz has already scored 12 goals and is the key component to 'The blue Horses' lofty position in the league.

 

Matches involving Sonderjyske tend to be entertaining so expect goals. Their dismal home form points towards another loss but last week's victory may have lifted  spirits.

 

Randers will want to take advantage of playing before Nodsjaelland and should attack from the outset. It's all set to be a good watch and there's potential for trading  in this one.

 

Being on a bad run at home becomes habitual and I can see Sonderjyske getting their noses in front before throwing it away.

 

Recommended Bet:

Back over 2.5 Goals @ 2.02

Back Randers @ 2.56
