- Head-to-head: Asane IL Ulset have won two of the last three home head-to-heads between the teams.
- Home form: Asane IL Ulset have won three of their last five home league games.
- Away form: Ranheim Trondheim have lost four of their five away league games so far this season (W1).
A big fixture for both clubs
Six points, six places and the league standings separate Ranheim Trondheim, who sit 6th in the 1. Division 2026 on 20 points from 12 games, from Asane IL Ulset who are 14th with nine points from 11 matches.
Both clubs have had an equal share of the spoils in their last five head-to-head meetings in all competitions (W2, D1, L2), so this is a fixture that appears to favour the home side. In their most recent meeting in the OBOS-ligaen 2025, Ranheim won 5-2 in a high scoring match 9 months ago, but this will be a good test of which one has adapted better.
High-energy hosts have been hard to beat
Tactical approach
Since Thomas Lyngboe took over as head coach in February 2026, he has instilled an aggressive, high-tempo style of play at Asane IL Ulset that is much more suited to the second tier. The boys will press opponents, push players forward quickly on the counter and bring on impactful substitutions when required.
Form and key player
Their home record in the 1. Division 2026 is balanced with three wins and three losses from six matches, however, they have been in good form of late with three victories, one draw and one loss from the last five matches. Leonardo Rossi has been their most dangerous player of late, scoring three goals from the last five fixtures.
Ranheim are more patient
Ranheim Trondheim are a much more patient side that have been much more geared towards possessing the ball and dictating the game by playing the ball through the midfield. This has been the style of Christian Eggen Rismark since he took over in January 2025 and there is a clear gap between what his side are trying to do and what Lyngboe is implementing with his Ulset squad.
This match should see plenty of shifts in momentum and is likely to be full of attacking chances as a result. Ranheim have been less effective away from home this term, with four defeats from five, although their most recent two have both ended in loss. They're the odds-on favorites to win this match at 1.77 with Asane IL Ulset 3.83 and the draw 4.05.
Backing over 2.5 goals is the play
- Over 2.5 goals is a huge favorite at 1.39 for this game, as both teams have been conceding lots of goals and have some attacking prowess in their ranks.
- Asane have shipped an average of 2.00 goals per home game in the league this term, conceding 12 in six, while Ranheim have been even worse away from home, conceding 17 in five.
- With Ranheim's Mikael Toerset Johnsen, who has scored five of his team's 12 goals in the last five, in the side, there is enough to suggest a few goals here.
