Hødd
- These clubs are currently separated by one place in the OBOS-ligaen table with the visitors sitting in seventh spot on 12 points from seven games and the hosts in ninth on 11 points from the same number of matches.
- A win for Hødd has become more likely since Ivan Poulsen took over as their head coach at the beginning of 2026.
- He has brought a modern style of play to the club in which the team press high and have structure in their build-up and possession play, especially at home.
- Hødd will always be compact and strong at the back with captain Torbjørn Kallevåg orchestrating their midfield and dictating the pace of the game.
- Cameron Streete provides the focal point to Hodd’s attack.
Egersund
- The visitors are a little sharper in the attack than Hodd and their style is more direct and physical with Marius Kjørvik Johansen’s men always looking to press and force turnovers.
- The former assistant coach took over in May 2026 and has maintained the club’s form while bringing some of his own tactical identity.
- Egersund have scored 10 goals in their last five matches in all competitions, but conceded four in the 4-2 defeat at Sandnes Ulf in their most recent game.
- Egersund’s captain Chris Sleveland is a seasoned player who controls the midfield and is vital to their ability to play on the break and transition quickly from attack to defence and vice-versa.
- Nicolaj Tornvig Hansen is a good finisher and should get a lot of service from the wings or full-backs on Monday, having found the net in last week’s 2-1 away win at Raufoss.
Head-to-Head
- The home team won the last meeting 1-0 at Nye Høddvoll in July 2025.
- Hødd have lost one of their last five at home in the league (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss).
