Raufoss to make it nasty and tight
Form and recent results
Raufoss have been on a little surge of late, but they've won their last two, beating Strømmen and beating Moss, so they arrive at the Nammo Stadion in decent spirits. The hosts have actually done reasonably well at home in the 1. Division 2026 this year, winning three, drawing one and losing three of their seven home matches this season.
Style and tactics
They play a pragmatic, compact style, sitting deep, narrowing the pitch and looking to hurt teams with set-piece play or direct play on the break. Ole Petter Berget has drilled his side into a 5-4-1 shape, which has allowed them to frustrate opponents and hit them on counter attacks.
Opposition challenge
The problem for Raufoss is that they face a very different side in Stabæk on Sunday, who prefer a more proactive, possession-based approach. Kjell Andre Thu's side have more structure and style, better full-back involvement and an ability to overload the midfield to break compact blocks down.
Stabæk to use better rhythm to edge it
Their 5-game form reads three wins, one draw and one defeat and they've won their last two, so they should arrive in decent nick. Stabæk also have a clear edge in terms of quality and they are rightly the favorites for this game at 1.55, although 4.67 for the home team is a little steep.
Raufoss have a slight edge in the head-to-head record, edging Stabæk 2-1 away two months ago in the 1. Division 2026, and they will be hoping to make this a nasty game, which they are certainly capable of doing.
- Magnus Lankhof-Dahlby has been Stabæk's sharpest edge of late, scoring four of their 12 goals in the last five, while William Wendt has been a magician in the middle of the field, registering six assists in the same five-game period.
- Stabæk have been more productive away from home than at their own place this term, winning three, drawing three and losing two in the league away from the Nadderud Stadion, averaging 2.12 goals scored and 1.38 goals conceded.
An OBOS-ligaen thriller on the cards?
Stabæk are the better side, and their superior rhythm should give them the edge in this contest, but Raufoss have also shown the ability to be a pain in the neck and we think they should be able to nick it.
The game should also feature goals, so we're going for Over 2.5 in the goal markets at 1.33 and Both Teams To Score: Yes at 1.42.
