The seven points Ranheim have gathered from their first three away trips in the Obos-Ligaen is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Ranheim are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Ranheim's last game was the home draw against Start (2-2). The match against Start looked like a defeat for Ranheim, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Tønne equalized in the 90th minute.

hometeam won As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

A new game in only three days for Ranheim, the Obos-Ligaen home match versus Fredrikstad. Busy days.
