- Fredrikstad FK are 4th in the Eliteserien 2025 table with 13 points from their first 6 games.
- KFUM Oslo are 13th in the Eliteserien 2025 table with 4 points from their first 6 games.
Fredrikstad FK are enjoying a much better start to the 2025 Eliteserien campaign than their guests KFUM Oslo, who are in danger of being sucked into a relegation fight. Mikkjal Thomassen’s men have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games in all competitions, including a 1-0 away win at Kristiansund BK, a 0-0 away draw against FK Haugesund and a 3-1 home win over Sandefjord. They have won their last two home games and look a solid bet to see off a KFUM Oslo side that have lost two and drawn one of their three away games in Eliteserien 2025.
Johannes Moesgaard’s side are struggling to find their feet in the top tier of Norwegian soccer and are languishing in 13th place after taking just four points from their first six games. The last three games have seen them improve defensively and get more out of their counter-attacking play as they try to soak up pressure and hit their opponents on the break. A gritty 0-0 away draw with Hamarkameratene was followed by a 1-3 home defeat to Tromsoe, but Moesgaard has struggled to find the right balance during a difficult run of games against top-tier opposition. KFUM beat Fredrikstad 1-0 in a club friendly two months ago, but it is hard to see a repeat of that result on Friday in front of the home fans. The odds are all in favour of the hosts here with Fredrikstad available at +100 and KFUM +260.
Fredrikstad play a direct, high-intensity style of football. They press high up the pitch and aim for quick transitions. Stian Stray Molde is the creative fulcrum of the team and dictates the tempo of the game, while veteran defender Fredrik Dahl provides stability and experience to the backline. Oskar Oehlenschlaeger is the main threat up front, having scored two goals in his last five appearances, and Marius Hagen has marshalled the defence well at home, where they have conceded just 0.33 goals per game in Eliteserien 2025. KFUM will look to playmaker Håkon Hoseth, who has the vision, and striker Robin Rasch, who has been their most dangerous forward during a difficult spell. Backing Fredrikstad to win to nil looks a good option here given their home record and the fact that KFUM have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per game on the road in Eliteserien 2025.
