LiontipsFredrikstad vs Haugesund. Prediction and bets on the Norwegian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Throughout the season, Fredrikstad has been fighting for a place in the top four, which gives the right to play in European competitions next season. The team approaches the upcoming game in fifth place, three points behind fourth-placed Molde, and the rival has already played its match of the 18th round.
At the moment, Fredrikstad is on a four-game winning streak. True, three of them ended in a draw. In terms of the number of draws, the hosts are among the leaders in the national championship – they have finished 7 out of 17 games with this result, only KFUM Oslo has more (eight draws). In the last round, these two most peaceful teams played each other and did not reveal the strongest (0:0).
Interesting trends for betting
- Fredrikstad have not scored more than one goal in the second half in 10 of their last 11 matches.
- In only one of the previous 13 matches have Fredrikstad players received more than two yellow cards
Fredrikstad's probable line-up
Fisher, Aukland, Kvile, Molde, Skaret - Eid, Bjorlo, Magnusson, Metcalf, Sorlokk, Traore.
Current form
Haugesund are heading into the upcoming match on a three-game losing streak. These setbacks have left the Seagulls in last place in the standings. However, they are only behind second-to-last Sandefjord on additional indicators, and the saving 13th place is only one point away.
Haugesund's main problem is their weak attack - only 18 goals scored. For comparison: Sandefjord, which is one line above them, has 27 goals. At the same time, in the last five matches, the team failed to hit the opponent's goal only once. This happened in the previous home match with HamKam (0:1).
Interesting trends for betting
- Haugesund have lost seven of their last nine matches on corners
- The visitors have scored goals in the second half in 10 of their previous 14 matches.
Injuries and disqualifications
Amund Wihne has been out of action due to injury since the beginning of the year. Niyukuri Klaus Babo is also injured.
Haugesund's probable line-up
Selvik, Crusnell, Fischer, Fredriksen, Hope, Bizoza, Conradsen, Leite, Eskesen, Liseth, Tounecti.

The visitors are clearly on the decline at this stage of the season, having lost three games in a row, conceding nine goals during that time. Fredrikstad has the home factor on its side, where they have faced serious opponents on equal terms in previous matches. Of course, motivation should also be taken into account, because a victory today will allow the hosts to enter the top 4.
Our prediction is a Fredrikstad win with odds of 1.67

The visitors' defense does not stand up to any criticism, as the team has conceded nine goals in the previous three matches. We expect high scoring today as well.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on the first half
Despite a series of three defeats in a row, Haugesund did not fail in the first half in the two previous matches and drew with their opponents. We believe that such a scenario is likely to develop on the field today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.20
