Sandnes Ulf
- Sandnes Ulf will be looking to avenge the 5-1 home defeat when Ranheim Trondheim visit Oester Hus Arena in Norway this Saturday.
- De lyseblå have won 2 of the last 5 meetings between the two sides and are in much better form than their visitors going into this fixture.
- The hosts, who occupy 11th spot in the 1. Division 2026 with 23 points from 20 games, are one spot behind their visitors on the same tally.
- But while Ranheim have lost four of their last five games, Sandnes have won their last two.
- Arturo Max Cleveland has overseen a steady improvement to his team since 1st January 2025.
Ranheim
- Ranheim have been very poor recently, with their most recent results a crushing 1-3 defeat at home to Stroemsgodset, a 4-2 away at Stabaek and a 3-5 home defeat to Odds Ballklubb.
- They like to play on the break and play at a high tempo, which is exactly the opposite to the Sandnes way, so whoever controls the midfield and second balls should dictate the flow of the game.
- But they are in a rut at the moment, so the home side could have the better chance of taking three points.
Head-to-Head
Sandnes Ulf have won two of the last five meetings between the sides and lost three with no ties in that run.
Betting Insights
- There is not much between these teams on the table, but Sandnes are in better form and Ranheim's last three games have been a slump, so we will take the slight favourite bet on Sandnes to edge this lively game.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.32 and BTTS Yes at 1.29 are the obvious plays with such a high average goals per game in their recent H2Hs, but BTTS No at 3.3 is a better pick if the hosts can keep it tight.
