Ranheim form and stats

There's been little loot from Lillestrøm's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the Eliteserien. Lillestrøm only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eliteserien home defeat versus Stabæk with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-3 defeat away at Viking before that.
Lillestrøm goalkeeper Marko Marić had a great day against Stabæk, but despite making 7 saves the loss could not be avoided.
