Sandnes Ulf will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-1 OBOS-ligaen losing effort in their last game against Ranheim.

Raufoss

DLWLDL

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Vålerenga in OBOS-ligaen action, Raufoss will be hoping to turn things around here.

The only player to score from Raufoss was Erlend Hustad (42'). Daniel Håkans (13') and Petter Strand (29') scored for Vålerenga.

The attacking players from Raufoss have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous six encounters, netting the poor return of just 4. In those matches, Raufoss have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 6. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, of course.

Leading up to this clash, Raufoss:

• have not been beaten by Sandnes Ulf in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches away from home.
