Kristiansund and Start meet in a crucial Eliteserien relegation six-pointer, with both sides desperate for points at this stage of the campaign. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday's clash, we predict a 2-2 draw. The hosts arrive in poor form after going four matches without a victory, with their biggest issue being a lack of cutting edge in the final third. Kristiansund have scored only 0.8 goals per game across their last ten matches and have failed to find the net in 40% of those fixtures. Their home record offers some encouragement, though, as they have avoided defeat in two of their last three matches at home. Forward David Tufekcic remains doubtful, which could further affect their attacking options.
Start, meanwhile, are bottom of the table with just seven points and head into the clash after three consecutive defeats. Despite their disappointing league position, the visitors have shown attacking promise, scoring 2.2 goals per game over their last ten outings. However, defensive problems have been their downfall, especially away from home, where they have conceded 2.8 goals per match on average. Lien, Tonnesen, and Torkildsen are all unavailable through injury, while the attacking duo of Schulze and Ampofo could return to the starting XI. With both teams struggling defensively, an open contest is expected.
Start have scored in eight of their last ten matches, while Kristiansund have conceded in nine of their previous ten games. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for Saturday's relegation six-pointer, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Norway Eliteserien match will be played on Saturday 25 July 2026 at 15:00.
