Kristiansund vs Fredrikstad Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Norway Eliteserien is back with a thrilling match-up on Monday, July 8th, as Kristiansund hosts Fredrikstad at Aker Stadion. This 13th-round encounter promises to be an exciting one, given the teams' recent form and historical head-to-head records.

Kristiansund, currently sitting in 9th place with 14 points, will look to bounce back from their inconsistent performances lately. They've managed just 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 5 matches, taking only 5 points from those games. In their most recent outing, they secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Odd at Skagerak Arena.

Fredrikstad, on the other hand, is flying high in 4th place with 22 points. They've been more consistent, boasting 2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws in their last 5 matches, which has earned them 8 points. Their previous match saw them hold Elfsborg to a goalless draw at Borås Arena.

When these two teams last met on August 20th, 2023, Fredrikstad dominated with a convincing 4-1 win at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion. Kristiansund will be eager to avenge that defeat and make the most of their home advantage, where they've scored an average of 3 goals per game.

Bet

Given the stats and recent form, my recommended bet would be Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.87. Fredrikstad's strong away performances and Kristiansund's tendency to concede an average of 2.2 goals per game suggest that this match could see a flurry of goals. Although Kristiansund has struggled at home, their last outing against Odd showed signs of improvement, and they might just find the back of the net more frequently in front of their own fans.
