While most domestic European leagues are slowly coming to an end, the Norwegian OBOS-Ligaen is still in its early stages. On Wednesday evening, Egersund and Raufoss will face off in the match that should have been played on the opening day but was postponed. Both teams come into the game after losing their previous matches, but Egersund have shown much more thus far.

Regarding the number of goals, three of four H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in two of them.
Egersund team overview
Egersund secured promotion to OBOS-Ligaen in 2023. In the following two seasons, they finished 4th and 5th and reached the playoffs, surprising many football experts. However, they failed to come out of the Playoffs and failed to go past the second round. This year, Egersund opened the season with three wins in the first three rounds but then lost 2:1 to Kongsvinger in their last match. At the moment, they sit in 7th place, but a possible win here would push them to 3rd place since they played one game fewer. So, an overall great start for the "Tigers".
On 20th April, the assistant coach Marius Johansen was appointed as the new head coach after Endre Eide left to join Haugesund. Under the new head coach, the team won once and lost once.

Raufoss team overview
Raufoss barely avoided relegation last season, finishing in 13th place, just one point away from relegation playout. This year, before the start of the season, they were projected to be around the same place as last season. However, just one point in the opening four rounds is definitely less than they expected. Still, a potential win here would help them escape the danger zone, at least for a short time. However, having watched their matches, we can safely say they are not playing well and are deservedly in 15th place.
After a 1:0 loss to Odd, coach Kasey Wehrman spoke to the media. Despite the loss, the coach wasn't too unhappy, saying he was satisfied with parts of their performance. He said they got some good stuff out of that game, regardless of the loss.

Prediction
Egersund won three out of the first four games. Their only loss came against Kongsvinger, a team they had traditionally struggled against. So, a super-close 2:1 loss against Kongsvinger on the road isn't something to be worried about. Also, at home, they have won both games while keeping a clean sheet in both.
On the other hand, Raufoss won only one point in the first four games and were especially bad on the road. They lost both games there and, in our opinion, were completely outplayed by both Ranheim (5:1) and Odd (1:0).
Last season, Egersund dominated in h2h games, winning both games with a combined goal difference of 5:0. Considering a massive difference in form and last season's h2h games, we believe the Tigers will secure another comfortable home win.
4 Reasons why Egersund should win and cover the -1 AH spread
- Egersund won three of four games
- Egersend kept a clean sheet in both home games
- Raufoss won one point in the first four games
- Egersund won both h2h games last season (4:0 and 1:0)
