Sogndal form and stats

6 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what Sogndal have to build on here at Fosshaugane Campus in the Obos-Ligaen. Game days at Fosshaugane Campus have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sogndal as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

An away draw last time out for Sogndal, facing Bryne in a game that ended 3-3. Opportunity lost for Sogndal in the Bryne match as a lead 3-1 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

Ahead of that match, Sogndal lost 0-1 at home to Skeid.

Lots of goals? We don't know the future, but we do know that 9 of the 11 most recent league matches with this team has had at least three goals.

A decent goal production from Sogndal in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Sogndal have conceded 18 from these games.

Ranheim form and stats

Playing away, Ranheim have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 4 defeats in the Obos-Ligaen this season. Ranheim seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Ranheim's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Åsane that finished 3-3. 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 1-2 loss visiting Grorud's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ranheim playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 2 Ranheim wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
