Hødd
- Hødd, by contrast, sit 6th on 27 points from 17 games after a solid start to the season.
- Hødd are a team that can be trusted to get the job done at home in Norway's second tier, where they've won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 8 games, and their record of 1.88 goals per home game in the 1. Division 2026 suggests they can land a few punches in front of their own crowd.
Strømen
- IL Hodd Ulsteinvik will go up against Strommen IF at Hoeddvoll Stadion in Norway on Sunday for what could be a lively 90 minutes of 1. Division 2026 football.
- The hosts arrive here in far better form than their visitors after winning four of their last five games, including their previous two.
- Moreover, Svein Roger Pettersen's side have won just two, drawn one and lost five of their eight away matches in the 1. Division 2026, which is the kind of record that suggests this fixture shouldn't be a runaway match for the home side.
- Strømen have averaged 1.50 goals per game away while conceding 2.25 and that doesn't add up to a positive away record, let alone a promotion push.
- They sit 15th in the table on 15 points, still looking over their shoulders, and the last three matches tell us everything about them, from a 0-0 home draw with Odds Ballklubb to a 3-1 away win at Kongsvinger to a 4-1 home loss to Ranheim.
Key Players
Cameron Streete has been their main danger man, with five goals in the last five , and that final-third threat could be decisive in this matchup.
Betting Insights
- Hødd are the slight favourite at 2.33, ahead of Strømen at 2.81 and draw at 3.48.
- We're going to take Over 2.5 goals & BTTS at 1.5.

The most likely result is a tight Hødd victory, but we're going to take Over 2.5 goals & BTTS at 1.5 in the hope that the duel of the two styles, one more compact and the other more vertical, creates a high-event matchup.
