Valerenga (home)

- Johannes Moesgaard took charge of the team on 13 May 2026 and they have generally been a pragmatic side.
Brann (away)

- Eirik Horneland only took charge of Bergens Stolthet on 2 July 2026.

- Kristall Mani Ingason has been their sharpest outlet in recent weeks, scoring two of their five goals in the last five games.
