Egersund IK
- Egersund IK have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 3 of their last 10 in all competitions (6th June 2026 - 6th August 2026).
- EIK's 3-1 win over IL Hodd and 0-0 draw away to Moss followed a 5-0 loss away to Ranheim Trondheim in the 1. Division 2026, so it has been a mixed bag for them so far this year.
- In the 3 home games, EIK have scored 6 goals, so we can expect them to push forward and cause problems on Sunday.
Sogndal IL
- Sogndal IL have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5 of their last 10 in all competitions (6th June 2026 - 6th August 2026).
- Sogndal have lost 3 of their last 5 (W1, D1, L3), so the away side arrive in Egersund under some pressure to win here.
- However, Sogndal have scored 18 away goals this season in all competitions, so they possess some serious pace and power in the wide areas.
Head-to-Head
- The tactical profiles of these two sides are almost mirror opposites of one another, so we can assume this one will be open.
- EIK typically set up as a 4-4-2 block, play their football in a much more patient manner this Sunday.
- Sogndal, on the other hand, don't have the ball very often, they press almost not at all and are extremely wide in their approach.
- Sogndal will sit deep and try to get in behind EIK on the break.
