This will be a tough test of their new identity against Ranheim Trondheim, who are known for a patient, possession-based style of soccer.
This Asane IL Ulset vs Ranheim Trondheim preview highlights the tactical battle, as Christian Eggen Rismark has reinforced this identity since he took over as head coach in January 2025, building from the back and controlling the tempo through the middle of the pitch.

Asane have a better chance at home
Asane IL Ulset's home form has been slightly better than their away form in the 1. Division 2026, with three wins and three losses from six games.
