Raufoss (home)
- Raufoss Fotball are 14th in the 1. Division 2026 with 16 points from 17 games, while Åsane IL Ulset are 16th on 13 points from 17 - these two are two sides on the cusp of the relegation zone.
- Raufoss come into this matchup with 2 wins and 3 losses from their last 5, but back-to-back defeats for Ole Petter Berget's men could give Åsane a chance at the Nammo Stadion on Sunday.
- Raufoss' latest two matches saw them suffer a 0-2 home loss to Stabæk and a 7-2 away defeat to FK Haugesund, so they'll be desperate to get back to winning ways on Sunday.
Åsane (away)
- Thomas Lyngbøe sets his Åsane side up to play with the ball and press high, using their double-pivot to keep things compact in the middle of the field and overloading the wings, but they've won just 1 of their last 5 (D1, L3).
- Leonardo Rossi has 4 of Åsane's 9 goals in their previous 5 games, so he is the man to watch up front.
Head-to-Head
Head-to-head, Åsane have a 2-1 lead over Raufoss from the last 3 meetings, but the hosts have avoided defeat in the two previous clashes at their ground.
Key Players
- Rafik Zekhnini is the talisman of the side with 2 goals in Raufoss's last 5 and he can be a danger inside the box, but the best chance of a goal comes from the right wing where Eirik Dahl Aasvestad has delivered three assists in Raufoss's previous 5 games, so his final third delivery will be key in this fixture.
- Leonardo Rossi has 4 of Åsane's 9 goals in their previous 5 games, so he is the man to watch up front.
Betting Insights
- Over 2.5 goals is 1.5 on the Raufoss vs Åsane game.
- Raufoss are favourites for this game at 1.87, Åsane are 3.66 and the draw is 3.76, so I'm going to go against the grain and take the visitors at a big price for a result.
Prediction
I think Raufoss should edge it in a tense, close game, but Åsane are capable of taking something from this matchup given their approach and the BTTS odds are also alluring, so I'm taking over 2.5 goals and both teams to score Yes at 1.49 .
