Raufoss vs Asane

Endangered Raufoss will be keen to get back to winning ways when they encounter mid-table Asane in an exciting Norway 1st Division match-up at the NAMMO Stadion.

Since claiming a 2-0 home triumph over Bryne in early May, Raufoss have gone winless in their last three league matches (D1, L2), conceding 2+ goals in each, at an average of 3.33 per game. Since eight of their ten goals conceded in that three-game sequence arrived beyond the 30th minute, Raufoss can hope for a quick-fire start. That could be particularly vital to their hopes of ending their three-match winless league streak against Asane (D1, L2). Indeed, Christian Johnsen’s men have lost three out of four fixtures in which they conceded the opening goal in the early stage of this Norway 1st Division season (D1).

In the meantime, Asane trailed at some point in both previous league outings, yet they fought back to win each of them by an identical 3-2 scoreline. The visitors will be full of confidence after arresting an underwhelming six-game start to the season (D3, L3) as they look to snap a two-match winless streak away to Raufoss (D1, L1). However, Asane’s leaky defence could be an issue, with Morten Rossland’s lads yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this term, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game across their first four league travels. Particularly vulnerable beyond half-time, Asane have let in four out of six away goals in the second half.
