Strommen IF
- Strommen IF are winless after 3 home games in the 1. Division 2026, losing 2 and conceding 7 goals.
- Having started the 1. Division 2026 campaign in 14th place with just 4 points from 5 games, Strommen IF are yet to find their early-season rhythm.
- Jens Wedeborg’s high-tempo, all-out attacking style is perfect for overperforming sides, but has yet to deliver the results this term, and his side enter this midweek round of matches coming off of 3 straight defeats, conceding 9 goals in their last 3 outings.
FK Haugesund
- FK Haugesund’s 2.25 away goals per game average in the 1. Division 2026 has seen them notch 9 goals in 4 road games.
- FK Haugesund’s early-season form is inconsistent, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats from their last 5 games.
- 6th place isn’t a bad result considering their 12 point haul from 6 games, but a 5-1 defeat at fellow top-half side Sogndal last time out was a real low point.
- FK have adopted a more pragmatic and compact style since Endre Eide’s tactical reshape of the side back in April 2026, they sit solid when out of possession and press in a situational fashion.
Betting Insights
- The clash of these contrasting styles should lead to an exciting game of end-to-end soccer, and the 1.56 odds on over 2.5 goals look like value for the bet.
- The 1.51 price on both teams to score is also attractive, and we expect both teams to find the back of the net on Wednesday.
- The 1.84 price for an away win looks attractive, with Haugesund averaging 2.25 goals per away game in the 1. Division 2026, they’ve notched 9 in 4 away games.

Strommen’s main offensive threat is Nikolai Jakobsen Hristov, the creative midfielder Deni Dashaev has notched 3 assists in their last 5 outings, while FK’s best performer has been the clinical Sory Diarra up front, with 4 goals in their last 5.
