Sogndal and Ranheim are closely matched
Match prediction
Sogndal IL should prove too good for Ranheim Trondheim in the upcoming game on Sunday at the Fosshaugane Campus in Norway.
Recent form and tactics
Sogndal come into this matchup off the back of a 4-0 home win, but that followed a 5-1 away defeat to Kongsvinger that suggests they will be vulnerable against a side that can catch them off guard. Ranheim's form has been mediocre at best as they have won just one of their last five, drawing once and losing three times.
They beat Lyn 3-2 at home, then went down 3-0 to Aasane away and 5-2 at home to Stabaek.
Luis Pimenta has been in charge of Sogndal since 1st January 2025 and his side generally play a front-foot, possession-led setup that pushes play through the middle. Ranheim, led by coach Christian Eggen Rismark since the same date, usually leans on a compact 4-3-3 with width and a collective press.
Ranheim have a solid scoring record on the road
Sogndal are the slight favorites at 2.23, but Ranheim are not far behind at 2.63 with the draw at 4.1. But this looks like a home game to us and we are going for the home side.
A safer option may be Over 2.5 goals at 1.25 as, although Ranheim are not prolific on the road, they have scored nine times in their six away trips so could nick a goal if they get put under pressure. Sogndal have shipped 12 in six at home, so there are goals in this.
- Sogndal's Sebastian Pedersen has scored four goals in his last five appearances while his teammate Kasper Skaanes has registered five assists over the same period.
- Ranheim have Mikael Toerset Johnsen in form, who has scored three in their last five, while Gjermund Aasen has provided three assists in that spell.
