Sogndal IL
- Sogndal IL will be desperate for a quick restart after last week's 0-1 home loss to Odds Ballklubb in the 1. Division 2026, which was followed by a 3-3 away draw with Egersund IK.
- Head coach Eirik Bakke, in charge since 26 June 2026, has clearly built his team up around a solid 4-4-2 structure, low possession and a lot of play down the wings.
Kongsvinger IL
- Kongsvinger IL on the other hand, are more of a 4-3-3 possession-based side who control through the middle and probe for openings, although they are capable of a bit of tempo too.
- This should be a real chess match between the wing-heavy Sogndal and the central Kongsvinger.
Head-to-Head
- In terms of recent H2H, Sogndal have no wins, Kongsvinger have 2 wins and 1 draw from the last 3 games, although Kongsvinger did win 5-1 away from home 3 months ago in the 1. Division 2026.
- This will be a tougher test for the visitors who have failed to win either of their last 2 away H2Hs.
- Sogndal score an average of 1.92 goals per home game and concede 1.75 in the 1. Division 2026 while Kongsvinger average 2.00 goals scored and 1.46 conceded on their travels in the division.
Betting Insights
- Kongsvinger are priced as the clear favorites at 1.62, with Sogndal at 4.01 and the draw at 4.5.
- Kongsvinger: 1.62
- Sogndal: 4.01
- Draw: 4.5
- The 2nd-placed side with 59 points from 27 games has to be supported here over the 14th-placed team with just 24 points from 26, although a visit to the 14th-placed club who've won just 1 of their last 5 league games will be a test.
- Kongsvinger come into this one after a 5-1 defeat to Strømsgodset, however, they hit back immediately with a 4-0 win over Sandnes Ulf at home, so they do possess the spirit to bounce back when required.
- Sogndal are on a much more mixed form with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats across their last 5.
Prediction
- Kongsvinger are the classier team of the two and as such, we're supporting them to come away with the win here.
- However, Sogndal's threat from home shouldn't be ignored and this could be a close game rather than a blowout.
- These averages back up the home side's ability to score and we're going Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score - Yes.
