Kongsvinger
- Kongsvinger are 4 wins and just 1 defeat from their last 5 matches.
- Kongsvinger have won 10, drawn 2 and lost just 1 of their 13 home games in the 1. Division 2026.
- Johan Peter Vennberg took charge of the Vinger on 13th October 2023 and his brand of high-tempo, press-heavy style seems to suit this squad well.
- That's essentially what we saw last time out as Vennberg's charges belted Sandnes Ulf 6-1 away, a result that was a harsh reminder of the difference in quality between these sides.
Sandnes Ulf
- A 1-1 home draw against FK Haugesund and a 4-1 defeat away to Stabæk make up their two most recent results and form heading into this one is mixed to poor with just 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5.
- Sandnes are much more structured in the middle of the pitch, they're a compact side that can overload the wide areas with wing-backs when on the attack and they look to remain compact when out of possession to counter and make life difficult for their opponents.
- Sandnes Ulf have failed to win either of their last 2 away games against Kongsvinger IL.
Head-to-Head
- They've won all 5 of the previous head-to-head matches when playing in the 1. Division 2026.
- Sandnes have won just 3, drawn 2 and lost 8 of their 13 away games in the same division.
- There have been goals aplenty in Kongsvinger home games in the 1. Division 2026 this season and, at 51 scored, they've found the back of the net at a rate of 3.92 goals per game.
Betting Insights
- The visitors have conceded 2.15 goals per away game in the 1. Division 2026 and that's why we're backing the hosts to boss the game here and eventually claim the win.
- Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.25, which seems a fair price considering the two sides have scored 3.92 and conceded 2.15 goals respectively in their respective home and away fixtures, so we're siding with the high-scoring game.
Prediction
- The contrast in style between these two sides should ensure that the pitch is open at Gjemselund Stadion on Sunday and that Kongsvinger will have the most joy in the game.
- Their home record in the 1. Division 2026 is rock solid with 10 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat from 13 games played and, although the Vinger did put 6 past Sandnes 2 months ago, we're going with a home victory this time and both sides to score.
