FK Haugesund
- FK Haugesund are 3rd in the 1. Division 2026 with 59 points from 27 matches and the promotion chase remains very much alive for Endre Eide's side.
- The Seagulls are in good form, having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches, though their home record is truly incredible throughout the season.
- Haugesund's record at Haugesund Sparebank Arena in the 1. Division 2026 is 11 wins, one draw and one defeat since the season began, and it's certainly fair to say that Eide's system has been clicking here in Norway.
- This has been working a treat at home, averaging 3.08 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per match, and they'll be delighted that Niklas Sandberg is on fire, with the winger striking three of Haugesund's ten goals across the last five games.
IL Hodd
- IL Hodd are no strangers to a stylistic clash, having been 7th in the 1. Division 2026 with 38 points from 27 games, close enough to the pack above to be within touching distance, but not in a position to push for the top tier.
- Hodd arrive here off the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Ranheim and a 5-1 thrashing of Raufoss on home turf, but their away record remains a concern with just three wins, three draws and seven defeats since the campaign began in 2026.
- In the last five, they've recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses.
Key Players
- Manaf Rawufu has been Hodd's main threat in the final third, netting two of their five goals across the last five.
- This has been working a treat at home, averaging 3.08 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per match, and they'll be delighted that Niklas Sandberg is on fire, with the winger striking three of Haugesund's ten goals across the last five games.
Betting Insights
- Haugesund should have no trouble taking care of their home advantage and the odds reflect that, with the 1.16 favorite and 9.5 underdog on Hodd and the 7.7 draw not worth a bet.
- A home win with over 2.5 goals is probably the best bet if the host's attack is on point early on.
