Friday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the goal-laden Norwegian second tier, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Ranheim vs Egersunds
🇳🇴 OBOS-ligaen
⏰ Friday 2 October, 18:00
Two clubs separated by a solitary point in the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen table meet in Trondheim on Friday evening as ninth-placed Ranheim entertain eighth-placed Egersunds in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Christian Eggen Rismark’s hosts have fired in 56 goals across their opening 23 matches in the Norwegian second tier this term, with 34 (61%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
The Trondheim-based outfit have found the back of the net in all 12 (100%) of their league outings on home soil this season – scoring 2+ goals in an impressive 10 (83%) of them – and will be expected to add to their impressive goals-tally at home against an Egersunds backline that has registered a solitary shutout across their past 10 road trips, shipping 28 goals.
Endre Eide’s visitors have scored 36 goals across their opening 23 contests in the OBOS-ligaen this term, with 17 (47%) of them coming on their travels.
The Tigers have only blanked away from home against leaders Haugesund this term – scoring on multiple occasions in 5/11 (45%) of them – and will look to breach a Ranheim backline that has recorded a solitary shutout all season, shipping 58 goals.

Bet of the Day
Ranheim’s matches have been fun to follow for goal-backers this season, and I’m expecting another high-scoring encounter when Egersunds make the trip to Trondheim on Friday.
Ranheim’s opening 23 league outings this season have averaged a whopping 4.96 goals per game, with Over 3.5 Goals landing in 19 (83%) of them – including in each of their last nine on home soil – whilst 18 of their last 19 have seen goals at both ends.
Egersunds’ opening 11 clashes on the road in the Norwegian second tier this term have averaged an eye-catching 4.09 goals per game, with Over 3.5 Goals paying out in six of their last nine, whilst eight of their past 10 have produced goals at both ends.
- Both Teams to Score & Over 3.5 Goals
