Odds Ballklubb (home)
- Odds Ballklubb are 6th with 29 points from their 18 matches.
- Odds Ballklubb have won just one, tied two and lost two of their last five matches.
- A 4-1 home victory over Aasane was followed by a 3-3 away draw at Moss and a 5-1 defeat away to Lyn.
- Samuel Skree Skjeldal has been a big factor in Odds Ballklubb's strong attacking output over the past few weeks, laying on three assists in his last five appearances.
- Odds Ballklubb's home games haven't been a stroll in the park, but they have only conceded ten times in nine 2026 1. Division matches and are capable of making this difficult for KIL.
Kongsvinger IL (away)
- With Kongsvinger IL sitting second in the 2026 1. Division on 39 points from 18 games, Odds Ballklubb are 6th with 29 points from their 18 matches.
- Kongsvinger IL have won four and lost one of their last five, riding a two-game winning streak into this game.
- KIL were beaten 1-3 at home by Stroemmen, but then beat Aasane away from home before enjoying a 3-2 home win over a resurgent FK Haugesund.
Head-to-Head
- In terms of the head-to-head, Kongsvinger have won two of the last three in the 2026 1. Division, one of which was the most recent meeting in the reverse fixture three months ago when they won 4-2.
- Oddrane haven't won the last game they hosted Kongsvinger, so there is a slight lean towards the visitors for this midweek clash.
Key Players
- Samuel Skree Skjeldal has been a big factor in Odds Ballklubb's strong attacking output over the past few weeks, laying on three assists in his last five appearances.
- Both teams will set up in a 4-3-3 formation for this clash, so there should be plenty of life out wide and in transition, rather than being cagey and battling for control of the midfield.
Betting Insights
- The odds are very close for this Wednesday's game with KIL the slight favorites at 2.29, Odds Ballklubb a close second at 2.53 and the draw a long shot at 4.05.
- Over 2.5 goals is a strong favorite at 1.25, but we're going to take BTTS-Yes at 1.27 in what we see as an entertaining game.
Prediction
Kongsvinger have a little bit more zip about them and are also in better form, so we'll go with them as the most likely winner, but the hosts' home advantage should keep this a competitive contest.
