Preview

Match preview

Elverum host Raufoss in the Round of 64 of the Norwegian Cup, bringing together two sides that have been involved in remarkably high-scoring fixtures across their recent outings. Elverum enter this tie having shown potent attacking output alongside significant defensive vulnerabilities, scoring 18 goals and conceding 14 across their last five matches in all competitions.

Raufoss arrive following a 2-1 victory over ODD Ballklubb, which snapped a three-match losing sequence that included heavy defeats such as a 9-1 reverse at Kongsvinger. In the previous cup round, Raufoss recorded a comfortable 4-0 away win against Ridabu, demonstrating their ability to score freely against lower-tier cup opponents.

With previous encounters between these sides producing 4-0 and 7-1 scorelines in favour of Raufoss, and both teams displaying erratic defensive records in recent weeks, this cup tie is positioned to be an open contest featuring chances at both ends.
