Sunday's clash at Nammo Stadion will mean a great deal to both teams as they look to build some momentum and start climbing the standings in Norway's second tier. In this Raufoss Fotball vs Sogndal IL preview, both teams are desperate for points and have much at stake.
Ole Petter Berget took over as Raufoss coach and has done a decent job in the main, but they have lost their way recently and he will need to turn their season around to have a chance of staying in the OBOS-ligaen. His side play a 4-3-3 formation with a front-heavy feel to it, as they press high up the field and like to attack with speed down the flanks.
Adrian Rogulj is an offensive threat for the hosts with three goals in their last five and Sogndal will have to contend with him on Sunday. Luis Pimenta's side have a little more structure to them as they are a team built from the middle outwards.
Opposing styles could make for an open game
Kasper Skaanes is the creative force in the middle of the field and he has five assists in their last five games, but striker Oliver Hintsa has hit some form in the same period with four goals. Sogndal are a little more patient and like to create numerical overloads in central areas and pick their moments to press, but with Raufoss playing a high-tempo game, there could be some end-to-end soccer here.
