Home team to maintain great home record
Third-placed Haugesund welcome 6th placed Ranheim Trondheim to Haugesund Sparebank Arena on Sunday, in a game that will have an important bearing on both clubs' seasons.
Haugesund's Endre Eide, appointed to take charge in April 2026, has clearly had an immediate impact on the club's playing style and results, with the home team playing at an aggressive pace and with an urgency that is disarming for opponents.
Their home form has been particularly strong, remaining unbeaten in 4 games and winning 3, with their latest win being a 3-1 success over Moss.
Our FK Haugesund vs Ranheim Trondheim preview highlights that their 4-3 victory at Raufoss last time out was a similar story, with the hosts having a lot more of the ball than the 4-3 scoreline suggested. Eide's men have scored ten goals in four home games in the 2026 1. Division, and they can take confidence from their average of 2.5 goals per game.
Ranheim can be a threat on the road
Ranheim Trondheim have a completely different identity to Haugesund, with Christian Eggen Rismark's men favoring a more patient build-up phase since his appointment in January 2025.
Playing a base 4-3-3 system, Rismark's team will look to maintain their shape and possession as much as possible, with their midfielders able to dictate the game's tempo.
Their away form has been poor with just one win and three defeats from four games, although the FK Haugesund vs Ranheim Trondheim prediction suggests they can be dangerous on the break, as their 8 goals in 4 on the road suggests.
Ranheim have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five games, beating Sandnes Ulf 5-1 at home, but drawing 2-2 with Stroemmen before losing 3-1 at Odds Ballklubb last time out.
Haugesund can edge an open game
With a lot of attacking quality in both sides, we can expect an open, end-to-end match and, although both teams will create chances, Haugesund are taken to claim all 3 points in front of their home fans.
Sory Diarra is a real threat for the home side, having scored 7 of their last 16 goals in 5 games, and the creative midfielders have been supplying him well.
Rismark's Ranheim Trondheim are a very good team, but they are coming off the back of consecutive away defeats, and their attacking threat can come from multiple sources. The FK Haugesund vs Ranheim Trondheim prediction shows the odds are favorable, with Haugesund coming in at 1.9, 'Both Teams to Score - Yes' 1.33 and 'Over 2.5 goals' 1.3. This FK Haugesund vs Ranheim Trondheim betting tips section offers insight into how both teams’ styles may impact the scoring opportunities in this exciting fixture.
