Ready vs Union Carl Berner

Reasoning

Ready are in strong form at home and should be good value to take all three points against Union Carl Berner in this Norwegian Cup playoff tie. The hosts have improved significantly this season and currently sit in third place in their division with 19 points from 9 games. They have been particularly impressive at home, winning all four of their home matches so far. Their recent 2-2 draw against league leaders Asker shows they can compete with the best teams. Union Carl Berner, although newly promoted and sitting in a respectable sixth place, have been inconsistent. They come into this match on the back of a defeat and have a mixed away record (3 wins, 2 losses). Ready already beat them 2-0 away earlier this season, demonstrating clear superiority. At 2.25, backing Ready to win looks like solid value in front of their own supporters.
