Playing away, Ranheim II, who have the most conceded goals (39) in 3. Division, have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the 3. Division this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Ranheim as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Melhus match.

Ranheim failed to get anything from their last game, a 3. Division home match vs Træff (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 2-4. A crazy, crazy match with masses of goals last time out for Ranheim, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this game be as much fun?

Preceding that, the 0-7 home loss versus Spjelkavik.

Ranheim have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 8 goals from 4 away matches. The Ranheim defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 18 goals in their away games.
