Ranheim Trondheim are a very dangerous team
Jens Wedeborg’s Strommen IF go into this weekend’s game against Ranheim Trondheim coming off a rotten five-game streak in which they’ve lost each and every game, including a 0-7 thrashing in their last home match against FK Haugesund, and a 2-3 defeat to Sogndal.
This Ranheim Trondheim vs Strommen IF prediction will be an interesting matchup between two contrasting styles which should produce an exciting game, with both Ranheim and Strommen boasting enough attacking prowess to score.
Ranheim’s approach is more measured and structured, a possession based game with width and structure, whilst Strommen are a high-tempo attacking side, who play their best football when they can get on the attack and put teams under pressure.
Christian Eggen Rismark’s Ranheim sit 6th in the 1. Division table with 16 points from nine games, whilst Strommen IF are bottom (16th) with just four points.
The hosts are the heavy favorites here at 1.56, which seems fair considering the gulf in class between the sides and the fact that Ranheim have been excellent at home this season (W4, D1, L0). However, the odds on both teams scoring at 1.49 also look good considering that Strommen IF average 1.75 goals per-game across their away league games, whilst conceding a worrying 3.00 goals-per-game on average.
Rismark’s team have the momentum and home advantage, and should be able to play through Strommen’s pressing with their quality in possession. The hosts have scored 13 goals across their last five games, while Mikael Toerset Johnsen has been a standout performer, scoring four of those.
Considering the attacking potential, our Ranheim Trondheim vs Strommen IF betting tips suggest backing goals in this encounter.
Strommen have only scored five goals across their last five, but Luka Fajfric has netted two of those, providing a glimmer of hope for the visitors going forward.
A clash of contrasting styles
This fixture is often a test of two managers and their respective philosophies, and it’s an early-season encounter that could set the tone for the next few weeks. Wedeborg has tried to turn Strommen IF into an attacking and high-tempo team that will press opponents and try to win the game going forward.
