Hødd
- 7th placed Hødd have 35 points from 26 games, 15 more than 16th placed Raufoss, who have played one game fewer.
- Hødd have won seven of their 13 home games in the 1. Division 2026, drawing two and losing four.
- IL Hodd's form has been mixed over the past few games, with one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five, however, they should have too much for Raufoss on Sunday.
- Ivan Poulsen has been in charge since January 2026 and has had some time to build his team, which shows in the settled, attacking identity of the club who know how to progress the ball and have a game model that is both coherent and very easy on the eye.
Raufoss
- Raufoss have won just two of their 12 away games in the 1. Division 2026, drawing one and losing nine.
- Raufoss boss Ole Petter Berget has had a tough assignment since taking charge in May 2026 and there has been a reset of sorts on the field during his reign as the team have tried to dig themselves out of trouble.
- But this is a transition phase and the uncertainty of that period can make it difficult to secure wins, which they have done just two of in their last 12 away games.
Head-to-Head
The last time these two met in 1. Division 2026, it finished 1-1 and we're expecting a similarly goals and drama-laden match this weekend, so we're also going for over 2.5 goals .
Key Players
- Manaf Rawufu, with three goals, and Eirik Dahl Aasvestad, with two, have been their sides' danger men in recent weeks.

Betting Insights
This game is likely to see both teams score as Hødd will control the game, but Raufoss are good enough to nick a goal on the counterattack if their hosts up the tempo.
Prediction
Raufoss will feel they have the edge in this game as the head-to-head suggests, unbeaten in their last three meetings with two wins and a draw, but the momentum is with the home team and we're going to back them for a win this time around.
