Kristiansund - Haugesund predictions

Kristiansund are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Haugesund winning, though.

Considering what they’re up against, Haugesund can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.75 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Although Kristiansund are coming on the back of a harsh 7:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Bodø / Glimt , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Haugesund lost their previous home game against Rosenborg with a considerably high 0:3 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eliteserien outings.

The latest record we have of this matchup is a draw result in the previous season. Kristiansund will be looking to reach a more conclusive result, which is entirely possible considering the home-field advantage and the favourable betting odds.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 1 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
