Kongsvinger (Home)
- Johan Peter Vennberg has been in charge of Kongsvinger since October 2023 and he has worked up a pretty good team that will press high and attack with intent when they have the ball.
- Kongsvinger have been in decent form with three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five.
- They have conceded only 19 goals in 10 home fixtures in the 1. Division 2026, which is an impressive display of control.
Raufoss (Away)
- Raufoss have suffered back-to-back league defeats to Strommen IF and Sandnes Ulf this week, the latter being a 0-3 home loss today.
- Ole Petter Berget has been in charge of Raufoss since 25 May 2026 and he has implemented a pragmatic, shape-shifting system that can morph from a compact block to a counter-attacking side with ease.
- Eirik Dahl Aasvestad has been a creative spark in Raufoss' last few games, providing three assists in his last five.
- Raufoss score only 1.00 goals per away game on average in the 1. Division 2026, netting 10 times on their travels in total.
Head-to-Head
- The sides last met in the 1. Division 2026 four months ago when Kongsvinger took all three points 3-1 on the road, but as the hosts have failed to beat Raufoss in their previous two meetings, there is a sense of caution around this game.
- Kongsvinger sit 2nd on 43 points after 20 fixtures compared to Raufoss's 16.
Key Players
- Kongsvinger's front-three will surely be tested by Raufoss' flexible back line on Saturday, but they will look to control the territory and chance creation in this matchup.
- Eirik Dahl Aasvestad has been a creative spark in Raufoss' last few games, providing three assists in his last five.
Betting Insights
- Kongsvinger IL are 1.24 favorites to see off a Raufoss Fotball side that are coming in off four defeats in their last five games.
- The 9.5 away odds seem like a big overestimate, while the 6.1 draw seems like a longshot.
- A BTTS-Yes selection is priced at 1.5 and that looks like a solid option for the game.
- The home team's dominance in this division makes a home win the clearest option, although Raufoss' away record and ability to change shape in game could prevent a complete walkover.
Prediction
- Kongsvinger are clear favourites to win this game.
- Raufoss are struggling in 16th place on 16 points after 20 games.
