Egersund (home)
- The hosts’ form is harder to judge as they adapt to the higher level of soccer after gaining promotion in 2025.
- Egersund are a young, hungry side with a good head for soccer under young coach Endre Eide, who won coach of the month in July 2025.
- They play a direct, aggressive 4-3-3 formation with a lot of wing play, which requires their midfielders and wingers to press and recover in wide areas before releasing their dangerous attackers on the break.
- Oscar Kapskarmo is the main goal-getter, having topped the scoring charts in 2025, but he will be well supported by Mathias Dahl Sauer and Chris Sleveland who can also get in on the action.
Strømmen (away)
- The visitors arrive with momentum after finishing 2025 in good form and bringing fresh firepower to the OBOS-ligaen table.
- Jens Wedeborg’s Strommen side play a similarly direct and offensive system, with a highly disciplined build-up and high tempo in the first half.
- They will look to overload the central area with full-backs, create vertical combinations and hit overloading areas, particularly down the sides.
Head-to-Head
These sides have met just twice since 2022, both in the league, and each side has taken a win, so it’s a fresh clash with no long-standing animosity, but plenty of motivation for the home side.
