Fredrikstad's Eliteserien form reads six wins, five draws and nine losses from 20 games, with just 20 scored and 28 conceded. They've found goals harder to come by than Ranheim, even if results have been similarly patchy.

Neither side looks in league-crushing form, so this cup tie is hard to frame around table position.

Comparative Team Statistics: Ranheim vs Fredrikstad

A long and mixed head-to-head

These two have met ten times since 2016, all in the 1. Division, with results swinging from a 1-7 hammering to a run of tight one-goal games. Their last two meetings, both in 2023, went Fredrikstad's way - a 4-0 home win followed by a 2-1 away win a few months later.

It's several seasons old and both squads have changed a lot since, so it tells us more about history than about this cup tie.

Limited player info to go on

The only individual stats we have are thin: E. Holten has scored twice for Fredrikstad in two recent appearances, and J. Pereira picked up an assist in a single game for Ranheim. A couple of Fredrikstad players, O. Øhlenschlæger and D. Eid, have each picked up a yellow card in their last two outings.

This isn't a full squad list, so it doesn't confirm who's fit or who starts - treat it as a small snapshot rather than proper team news.

A cup tie between different levels

This is a Norwegian Cup meeting rather than a league fixture, so Ranheim's home patterns in the 1. Division don't automatically carry over against top-flight opposition. Fredrikstad's defence has looked leaky in Eliteserien, conceding at a fair clip, while Ranheim's own matches have rarely stayed tight either.

With both sides shipping goals regularly and Fredrikstad not banging them in for fun despite playing a level up, there's no obvious control team here. The gap in division doesn't guarantee a comfortable away night.
