Fredrikstad FK vs KFUM Oslo Best odds and tips

Fredrikstad FK have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions, a run that has taken them to fourth spot in the Eliteserien 2025 table with 13 points from six games. The last three have seen them win 1-0 away to Kristiansund BK in a gritty performance, draw 0-0 away to FK Haugesund in another tough game and then beat Sandefjord 3-1 at home. Mikkjal Thomassen’s side have found their rhythm in the last few weeks and are playing the sort of direct, high-intensity football that they enjoy, where they can press high up the pitch and transition quickly from defence to attack. Stian Stray Molde is the fulcrum of the team and dictates the tempo, while Oskar Oehlenschlaeger is their most potent threat up front with two goals in his last five games. Defensively, Marius Hagen has marshalled his men well and the home results have been excellent.

KFUM Oslo will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation on Friday and look to veteran defender Fredrik Dahl to bring some stability and experience to a back four that has been vulnerable. Johannes Moesgaard’s men have had a tough run of games, but they have not found the right balance yet and sit 13th in the table with four points from six games. The last two games have seen them draw 0-0 away to Hamarkameratene in a scrappy match and then lose 1-3 at home to Tromsoe. Striker Robin Rasch will again be their most dangerous player, but they will need playmaker Håkon Hoseth to unlock the home defence if they are to get any joy. KFUM will be well organised and look to counter attack, so this should be a classic clash of possession football versus a side that wants to sit back and counter.

KFUM Oslo will be buoyed by their 1-0 win away to Fredrikstad FK in a club friendly two months ago, but the odds are stacked against them for this game at 3.60. Fredrikstad FK are a clear 2.00 favourites and with good reason, as they have won their last two home games and KFUM are winless in their last three away (D1, L2). The head-to-head record is close, with Fredrikstad FK having won three of the last seven meetings in all competitions, KFUM two and two draws, but home advantage could be crucial here. We’re backing Fredrikstad FK to win and keep a clean sheet, as they have done in their last two home games, while KFUM have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per away game in Eliteserien 2025.
