O’Neill’s men have a good recent record in do-or-die showdowns.
At Euro 2016, Robbie Brady’s goal against Italy sent them through to the knockout stages, while in Cardiff last month, James McClean was the hero with the goal which shattered Wales’ qualification hopes.
Denmark coach Age Hareide believes his side will score at the Aviva Stadium, which will mean O’Neill’s men must score at least twice to win.
But Randolph knows that if there’s another goalless draw, Ireland will face their first penalty shoot-out since losing to Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup in 2002.
Randolph revealed he’s never experienced a shoot-out as a pro.
He added: “It’s been a while. Probably the Milk Cup when I was 13 or 14. I’d love to say we won but I can’t remember.
“Obviously, we’re all aware it could go to penalties and we’re prepared for that but our aim is to win the game in 90 minutes.”
