Ranheim hosts Rosenborg in round 14 of Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Thursday, July 4th at EXTRA Arena (Trondheim)
Ranheim surprised by his results in the last season, having finished the first round of the championship in the top-4. Today the team is not as successful, but it imposes a struggle on their rivals. Ranheim played especially well in the last matches, losing only to the leader of the championship. In addition, the team confidently made its way to the quarterfinals of the Norwegian Cup. And it is worth noting that Ranheim hammered Brann in the home field in the 1/8 finals.

The champion of Norway is clearly experiencing problems this season. The championship has already approached the equator, and Rosenborg has only 18 points out of 39 possible. The team did not get half the points due to regular failures in defense. Yes, it managed to restrain the onslaught of their rivals in the home arena, but it conceded 10 goals in 6 away games. Moreover, Rosenborg kept a clean sheet only in one of 6 away games in the framework of the highest Norwegian division.
I agree that the visitors are the favorites of the upcoming match, but it will be difficult for Rosenborg to avoid a conceded goal. Outside their field, the Norwegian champions managed to concede even from the non-scoring teams. Stabaek, for example, scored Rosenborg 3 of its 7 goals in this season. And Tromso quite recently opened the defense of the White-blacks. Is Ranheim worse than the above teams? The Blues and whites scored 9 goals in 6 home games and effectively held the last home meeting. Finally, Ranheim scored Rosenborg in both head-to-head matches of last season. Consequently, the home goal is quite likely. But Ranheim is unlikely to be able to restrain the onslaught of the visitors. Rosenborg is unstable, but it scored in 7 of the last 8 official games. And Ranheim managed to keep a clean sheet at home only in 1 of 6 matches in the Norwegian Championship.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
