Ranheim form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at EXTRA Arena as Ranheim have scored 11 goals to get 12 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Obos-Ligaen are 4-0-2 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ranheim to get some points in this home game.

No payout for Ranheim in their previous match, an away game at Fredrikstad that ended in defeat 0-4. Ranheim were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Before that game, the home loss against Mjøndalen with the scoreline 2-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ranheim have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 6.

Goals are flowing in this club's league rounds, with 5 in a row featuring three or more goals (over 2.5).

A decent goal production from Ranheim in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ranheim defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sandnes Ulf form and stats

Sandnes Ulf have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Obos-Ligaen, after 1-2-3 (6 played).

Sandnes Ulf played 3-3 against Åsane in their previous match. As you can tell from the result, the match against Åsane was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting KFUM's place.

Sandnes are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

Take note! Both teams have scored goal(s) in 8 of this club's latest 10 league fixtures.

Sandnes Ulf find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Sandnes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
