Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Rosenborg BK in Eliteserien competition, Strømsgodset IF and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Strømsgodset IF has become apparent recently. Checking on their last 6 meetings reveals that this has occurred 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal total of 5 while Strømsgodset IF have scored 5. We will find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Strømsgodset IF:

• have not emerged victorious against FK Haugesund in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 9 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

🗞️ Team News: FK Haugesund

It seems likely that FKH could employ a 4-3-3 formation this time, utilising Amund Wichne, Claus Niyukuri, Mikkel Fischer, Madiodio Dia, Oscar Krusnell, Morten Konradsen, A. Gjerd Grindhaug, Parfait Bizoza, Ismael Petcho Camara, Runar Espejord and S. Haavik Innvaer.

📰 Team News: Strømsgodset IF

Strømsgodset IF boss Jørgen Isnes has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ole Enersen (Hip injury) and Eirik Ulland Andersen (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Godset will likely make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing P. K. Braatveit, Bent Soermo, Jesper Taaje, Gustav Valsvik, F. Kristensen Dahl, Herman Stengel, Kreshnik Krasniqi, J. T. Therkelsen, Marcus Mehnert, Elias Hoff Melkersen and Logi Tomasson.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Strømsgodset IF and FK Haugesund should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. We’re therefore expecting a 1-1 score draw at the conclusion of the game.
