- Team form: Stabæk have won five straight games, their last ten reads W7, D2, L1.

- Away form: Stabæk have conceded just seven goals across five away games (W2, D2, L1).
Stabæk are on a roll
Stabaek have won their last five consecutive games coming into this one, and they've absolutely dismantled teams with 19 goals in the process. The goal-scoring prowess of Stabæk comes from both Magnus Lankhof-Dahlby and William Wendt, who have slotted home six goals and six assists respectively across the same five games.
This is the story of a Stabaek team that are simply on a winning streak and with a run of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat across their last 10 games in all competitions, they're certainly playing like a side with their sights on the title.
Egersund can get something
Odds
Kjell Andre Thu's Stabæk are the narrow favorites at 2.12 for this game, which is surprising considering the hosts have won two in a row. Egersund IK are a solid 2.9 to get something, and with the draw priced at 3.9 there is certainly more value in the hosts than the current odds suggest.
Recent form
They beat a decent Sandnes Ulf side last time out and followed that up with a 0-2 away win at Strømsgodset.
A solid fixture for both
The goal markets are also looking lively, Over 2.5 goals is 1.32 and Both Teams To Score – Yes is the same. Egersund IK have had a pretty average run of results of late, their ten most recent reads W4, D2, L4, which is exactly a mid-table kind of fixture.
- The home side are decent at home across all competitions (W3, D1, L1), but the away side have been equally as solid on the road (W2, D2, L1), which leads us to believe that this game could be closer than the odds suggest.
- There will be a real contrast between two different ways of playing in this one, Stabæk will want to pin Egersund deep and win the ball back high, whereas Egersund will look to clog the middle third and strike in transition.
- The value looks to be on Egersund getting something here, but Stabæk still have the quality to take all three points.
