- Team form: Strømsgodset IF are eight points ahead of Ranheim in the 1. Division in 2026.
- Head-to-head: These sides met two months ago in the 2026 1. Division and Strømsgodset won 5-4 at home.
Godset can be godly in a goal fest
Strømsgodset IF come into Saturday's game against Ranheim at the EXTRA Arena as clear favorites at 1.6, but they might not have things all their own way against the struggling hosts. Ranheim are a 4.25 outside chance to take the win and the draw is 4.6 in what looks set to be an open and entertaining game in Norway.
Godset are 4th in the 2026 1. Division with 32 points from 16 games, eight more than Ranheim in 8th with 20 points from 16.
In their last 5 games, the visitors have been solid enough with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss with a 4-3 away defeat to Hoedd, a 1-1 home draw with Lyn and a 0-2 away win over Bryne.
Ranheim are in freefall
Recent form
Ranheim's last three games have seen them lose 2-5 at home to Stabaek, 3-2 away to Sogndal and 3-4 at home to FK Haugesund. And although Christian Eggen Rismark's team are well organised, they are conceding too many goals.
Defensive issues and tactics
They have allowed 18 goals in nine home games in the 2026 1. Division and will be tested by a fast, free-flowing Godset side.
Magne Hoset's men are much more structured than their hosts in possession and like to get the ball wide. The key to this game will be in the midfield and around the fullbacks, as it is a classic counter vs build-up matchup.
Go for goals at EXTRA Arena
The stats favor the away side to take the points but this could be another crazy game like the sides' last meeting two months ago and Godset can edge it 3-2 in what should be a game full of goals.
Over 2.5 goals looks good at 1.24 and Both Teams To Score – Yes at 1.31 are also advised.
- Godset's Sebastian Pingel is in good form with four goals in his team's last 12 scored in the last 5 games.
- Mikael Toerset Johnsen has also been in the mood for Ranheim with three goals in his side's 9 scored in their last 5
- Gjermund Aasen has set up three.
