Norway Eliteserien Predictions

Eliteserien●○○

Bodo/Glimt

vs

Viking

Statistically, this is the highest-variance fixture in Norway: the league's two most prolific attacks meet with identical points tallies and nearly identical goal differences, and both have strong but not impenetrable defences. The data points to an open, high-scoring contest with little to separate the sides.

Eliteserien●○○

Fredrikstad

vs

Rosenborg

Momentum is firmly with Rosenborg, who have surged up the table on the back of a five-match unbeaten run, while Fredrikstad's form has stalled with a four-game winless streak. The visitors' attack has been rampant, and their recent defensive solidity gives them the edge.

Eliteserien●○○

Aalesund

vs

Sandefjord

This fixture brings together two sides level on points at the foot of the Eliteserien, both desperate to claw clear of the relegation zone. Aalesund come in with a volatile form string (WLWLW), but have found the net in every one of their last five, including a 4-1 away win last time out.

Eliteserien●○○

Brann

vs

Molde

This fixture brings together two of the division’s higher-scoring sides, with Brann’s defensive vulnerabilities at home (only 13% clean sheet rate) facing a Molde attack averaging over two goals per match. Molde’s away record is patchy but productive, while Brann’s home form is volatile, splitting wins and losses evenly.

Eliteserien●○○

KFUM Oslo

vs

Ham-Kam

KFUM Oslo surge into this fixture on the back of a five-match unbeaten run, having claimed four wins and a draw while averaging two goals per game and conceding less than one. In contrast, Ham-Kam have stumbled, losing their last two and conceding five goals in the process, with their only recent bright spot a 4-2 win at struggling Start.

Eliteserien●○○

Sarpsborg 08 FF

vs

Kristiansund BK

Sarpsborg 08 return home after a mixed run, but their recent attacking displays and Kristiansund's defensive collapse suggest the hosts are well placed to take advantage. Kristiansund, mired in a four-game losing streak and conceding at an alarming rate, face a must-win scenario but arrive with confidence at a low ebb.

Eliteserien●●○

Start

vs

Lillestrom

Start's relegation-threatened defence faces a Lillestrom side with a solid away record and a clear edge in both league position and underlying rates. The numbers point to a match with above-average scoring, driven by Start's porous back line and Lillestrom's ability to find goals on the road.

Eliteserien●○○

Valerenga

vs

Tromso

This fixture matches up a Valerenga side averaging 1. 63 goals scored and 1.
