Tromsø - KFUM predictions

Tromsø might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as KFUM are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for KFUM who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Molde away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for Tromsø.

KFUM are here on the back of a sub-par display in their previous Eliteserien bout, which ended in a 2:2 draw against HamKam. They went into the match with both a home advantage and tagged as favourites, so HamKam is probably much happier with the result.

Tromsø have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Sunday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.97. They soundly defeated KFUM last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.65. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
