A good away victory last time out for Raufoss, who won 2-1 against Skeid (placed 16th). The victory against Skeid came after Nelson's winning goal. The Raufoss manager Wålemark was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 72nd minute.

Preceding that match was the home game against Jerv that was lost 2-3.

Goals from both sides! That has occurred in 5 league fixtures in a row for this team. Could it happen again?
