Soccer betting preview: Ranheim welcomes Vålerenga in what could be a tight duel

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Ranheim form and stats

Three home games done for Ranheim, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

A good away victory last time out for Ranheim, who won 1-0 against Brann. A strong away win before that one, visiting Kolstad and winning 3-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ranheim perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ranheim as a small favourite), we find four games. Ranheim has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

The manager S. Maalen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Odd in only four days.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Viking in their previous outing. The Eliteserien match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Faaberg.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Strømsgodset in just four days.
