Obos-Ligaen: Two sides in decent form get together for this fixture. Start might have a slight upper hand with their 4th position in the table?

Insights:
  • Ranheim have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Start have the most scored goals (40) in Obos-Ligaen

Start have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Ranheim nor Start as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
