- Stabaek enter Sunday's matchup with Odds Ballklubb in good form after winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their last 5 games, sitting fourth in the table on 52 points from 27 games, 3 points above Odds in fifth on 45.

Odds Ballklubb
- Odds Ballklubb have won 4 and lost 1 of their last 5 fixtures.
- Odds will be a tough nut to crack though and they come to Nadderud Stadion in decent form after beating Sogndal 1-0 on the road before slipping 2-1 to Stroemmen at home in their most recent two games.
- Odds are more flexible than Stabaek and like to play a more direct style with physical forwards that can win the ball in the air, while they don't have the same ball possession stats as Stabaek, but their ability to break the game up and hurt teams on transition is often underrated.
- Per Frandsen, who has been in charge since 17 September 2025, has brought a more pragmatic and hardworking approach to the Oddrane, but the club have still conceded 25 goals on the road, an average of 1.92 per away game.
Head-to-Head
- This looks a lot like a home win on paper, but Odds have been good on the road this season and the head-to-heads are tight with 1 Odd win and 2 draws in the last 3 meetings, including a 2-2 result in the 1. Division 2026 six months ago.
- It may be a close call, but there is no doubt that the away side will be dangerous in this one and with Stabaek winless in their last 2 home games against Odds, this game will have a real sting to it.
