Moss
- The hosts come into this game having won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five competitive games.
- They lost 2-1 away from home against Bryne FK in their most recent 2026 1. Division game, before beating Lorenskog IF 3-0 away from home in the cup and drawing 2-2 at home to Sogndal IL in the 2026 1. Division.
- Moss currently sit 13th in the 2026 1. Division with 19 points from their opening 19 games, still in reach of being dragged into the relegation places.
- At home in the league, they've won two, drawn four and lost three of their nine games, letting in 18 goals in the process.
Strømmen IF
- Strømmen IF have won three and lost two of their last five, currently on a two-game winning streak.
- Strømmen IF have won two of their last three away games (D0, L1) and they'll need to keep that momentum going to avoid being dragged into the bottom half of the table as they currently sit 14th in the 2026 1. Division with just 18 points from their first 19 games.
- They've scored 12 goals in their last five matches, with Nikolai Jakobsen Hristov scoring four of those in his last five appearances, making him the most likely man to score for the visitors this weekend.

Key Players
- They've scored 12 goals in their last five matches, with Nikolai Jakobsen Hristov scoring four of those in his last five appearances, making him the most likely man to score for the visitors this weekend.
- Moss come into this with a slightly lower goal threat as they've seen Haakon Vold Krohg hit the net three times in his last five outings, helping Moss to score 10 goals in that run.
Betting Insights
- However, the odds are too close to back anything other than a two-horse bet and with both sides looking a little shaky at the back, there's enough of a chance that we could be on the end of a close, exciting game.
- We're going against the grain and going for a double chance for the home side here as they are undefeated in two at their Melloes Stadion home.
- The away side are in better form and the odds do not reflect this.
Prediction
- This sets up a classic overdog vs underdog clash, with Moss needing to be solid at the back and work hard to get men behind the ball, while Strømmen IF are far more compact and prefer to strike on the break.
- Given the slight edge for Strømmen IF in terms of recent form, a 2-2 draw or a narrow 2-1 win for the away side looks most likely here, with both teams carrying enough of a threat in the final third to nick it.
