The Obos-Ligaen league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Ranheim and Kongsvinger are placed 2nd and 14th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither Ranheim nor Kongsvinger 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.

Ranheim form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Ranheim's two home games in the Obos-Ligaen so far this season, having collected 3 points here at EXTRA Arena.

Ranheim are returning here after visiting HamKam in a Obos-Ligaen game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Ø. Alseth, E. Tønne and I. Rønning scored the goal(s). Preceding that match was the home game against Tromsø that was lost 1-2.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A late climax in the match against HamKam as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by S. Solli.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Ranheim home games with this odds we find two games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in two wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.

There will be little rest for Ranheim after this match as they are travelling to Sandnes Ulf for a Obos-Ligaen game in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Ranheim's 2 home games: 6 goals, 5 conceded.

Kongsvinger form and stats

Kongsvinger, who have the most conceded goals (9) away in Obos-Ligaen, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Obos-Ligaen, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). It's looking increasingly bleak for Kongsvinger who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. HamKam was the last time a defeat was avoided. Kongsvinger seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

A. Guven was the last player to score for the away team. Kongsvinger haven't scored a league goal in the last 212 minutes.

Kongsvinger lost away at Raufoss (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Grorud.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Øygarden in just three days.

Kongsvinger are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The Kongsvinger defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Ranheim-Kongsvinger H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Ranheim five wins, Kongsvinger two wins, three draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
