Over their past six games alone, a total of 20 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 12 of those being chalked up by Strømsgodset IF.

• haven't been beaten in the league by Kristiansund in their last 4 matches.
• have not won against Kristiansund in their last 2 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Strømsgodset IF

Ole Enersen (Hip injury) and Eirik Ulland Andersen (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Strømsgodset IF manager Jørgen Isnes.

It’s our opinion that Godset should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select P. K. Braatveit, Bent Soermo, Jesper Taaje, Gustav Valsvik, F. Kristensen Dahl, Herman Stengel, Kreshnik Krasniqi, Logi Tomasson, F. Pau Vilaseca, Marko Lawk Farji and Marcus Mehnert.

ℹ️ Team News: Kristiansund

There’s a good chance that KBK appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Adrian Saether, Ian Hoffmann, Igor Jelicic, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Frederik Flex, Rezan Corlu, Wilfred George Igor, R. Kristensen Alte, David Tufekcic, Alioune Ndour and Niklas Oedegaard.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Strømsgodset IF can and should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Kristiansund will not find it easy getting goals - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Strømsgodset IF at the end of the match.
