Odds Ballklubb and Bryne FK are locked into a tight promotion race in the 1. Division after 24 matches, with Odds Ballklubb in fifth on 39 points and Bryne in sixth on 38.
Odds Ballklubb
- Odds Ballklubb have won their last three games, beating Egersund IK 5-1 and IL Hodd 3-2.
- Odds Ballklubb are unbeaten in their last two home games (Won 1, Drawn 1).
- Per Frandsen took over as Odds Ballklubb coach on 17 September 2025 and has really got them to play a tough, possession-based style of play, building patiently and then bursting forward at their opponents with numbers in the final third.
Bryne FK
- Bryne FK have won their last four matches, including a 4-0 win away at Asane IL Ulset.
- Bryne are very much the opposite, a control-the-ball, transition side who like to be compact when not in possession, but get vertical and really get going when they win the ball.
Head-to-Head
- Oddrane can take confidence from beating Bryne in the corresponding matchup in 2026's 1. Division, although it finished 2-1 away from home.
- Odd will know what it takes to land a punch in this fixture and can probably eke it out on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- The odds seem about right for this game with Odd 2.13, Bryne 2.91 and the draw 4.24, so we're supporting the hosts to nick it on Sunday.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.46 seems to suit the attacking edge in this one, while Both Teams To Score at 1.4 should also land in what is likely to be an open, end-to-end clash.
- But there's a good chance that this game gets scrappy at times and whichever team is in the ascendancy will probably make it a goal-fest.
Prediction
- The two styles should make for a close game, but the team who controls the midfield for the most part will be the more likely to win and it looks as though Odds Ballklubb might be that team.
- Odd will know what it takes to land a punch in this fixture and can probably eke it out on Sunday.
