Fredrikstad vs Tromsø prediction, odds and how to watch

L. Alvheim scored twice as Kristiansund ground out a controlled 2-0 home win against a Tromsø side that had more of the ball but created nothing of note. The result was built on defensive organisation and a willingness to compete.

Fredrikstad controlled the majority of this Eliteserien clash but could not hold their lead, as Bodø / Glimt showed exactly why they are the team to beat with a cool second-half equaliser from Bryan Fiabema.

Fredrikstad put in a clinical second-half display at Lillestrøm to run out 4-1 winners in the Norwegian Eliteserien, with Benjamin Faraas scoring twice to kill the game off. Lillestrøm had more of the ball, more shots, and still lost by three. That tells you everything.

Fredrikstad arrive at this fixture on the back of four wins from their last five in the Eliteserien, with a defence that has kept things tight. Tromsø bring goals and inconsistency in equal measure.

Tromsø host HamKam on Sunday carrying sharp recent form and the memory of a 4-1 hammering of the same opposition just two months ago. HamKam arrive with two wins from their last ten and serious questions to answer.

Vålerenga have conceded sixteen goals in their last five Eliteserien matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet in that run. Fredrikstad arrive in Oslo having won four of their last five.

Fredrikstad host local rivals Sarpsborg 08 in a mid-table Eliteserien derby on Sunday, with the home side's impressive home record clashing against an away form that has yielded just one win in five on the road.

Rosenborg host third-placed Tromsø on Saturday carrying a significant injury burden, but their recent home form suggests this could be exactly the kind of fixture they need right now. The numbers tell a complicated story for both sides.
