Home - Odds Ballklubb
- A game of fast vs slow is set to play out at the Skagerak Arena in Norway this Sunday when fifth-placed Odds Ballklubb, on 45 points from 26 games, entertain 10th-placed Strommen IF, on 30 from the same amount of fixtures.
- Per Frandsen's Odd, on the other hand, have been going hell for leather in their 4-3-3 formation, pressing hard when they don't have the ball and transitioning fast when they do.
- Their most recent wins came on home turf with a 2-1 success over mid-table Bryne FK being followed by a 1-0 away victory at Sogndal IL.
- Odd have won 5 consecutive matches in all competitions.
Away - Strømmen IF
- Strømmen come into this matchup with very mixed form after a 3-3 draw with Sandnes Ulf, a 2-2 away draw at Stabæk and a 6-1 victory over a hapless Åsane side.
- Svein Roger Pettersen has set up Strømmen in a compact three-centre-back shape this term, with the three centre-backs there to absorb pressure.
- Strømmen have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last 5 games in all comps.
Head-to-Head
The last matchup between these sides, a 0-0 draw on Strømmen's home turf in the 1. Division 2026, wasn't exactly a thriller, but this rematch has a much sharper edge to it.
Key Players
Kasper Andersen is the form player of this Odds Ballklubb side with six of his team's 14 goals in the last 5 matches, while Gal Grobelnik has been Strømmen's sharpest weapon, banging in five of their seven goals across their previous 5 games.
Betting Insights
- Both Teams to Score is coming in at 1.4, which is a decent price considering that Over 2.5 goals is available at 1.33 and both have been in good scoring form lately.
- Odds Ballklubb are priced at 1.5 to win this clash and it seems like a solid selection to back the home team to keep the winning streak going.
Prediction
Our preference is the BTTS bet because the home side have the bigger firepower and it looks like they can outgun Strømmen in this contest, so we're going for a 2-1 or 3-1 kind of matchup.
