Hødd (home)
- Hødd have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions.
- Ivan Poulsen has led Hødd since 1 January 2026, shaping a compact side that stays organised and looks to spring fast breaks.
- They have had some success with this approach recently, drawing 0-0 at high-flying Odds Ballklubb and then hammering Lyn 4-1.
Strømsgodset (away)
- Strømsgodset have won three and drawn two of their last five games in all competitions.
- Godset are unbeaten away from home in 1. Division 2026, winning two and drawing three of six matches.
- Godset are top with 28 points from 13 games while Hødd are eighth with 18 points.
- Strømsgodset IF travel to the Hoeddvoll Stadion on Saturday to take on IL Hødd Ulsteinvik.
Key Players
- Isak Gabriel Skotheim has caught fire for them of late, bagging three of their eight goals in the past five games, and he looks a good bet to trouble the Godset defense on Saturday.
- Sebastian Pingel has been their main spark for goals, scoring eight of their 18 in the most recent five fixtures, and he is red hot in the offensive zone right now.
Betting Insights
- Godset are rightful favorites in the odds, coming in at 1.4 while the draw is 5.0 and Hødd are 6.27.
- The market seems to be heavily on the goals in this clash, with Over 2.5 at 1.33 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.51.
- Those prices are great value given the rhythm of the game that Godset try to play and the fact that the hosts have conceded eight times in six matches at home in the league.
Prediction
The likeliest outcome is for the visitors to come out on top, but Hødd have enough counter-attacking ability to keep the score down.
