• Date: Wednesday, 14th August 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST

Before the season started, many pundits expected Fredrikstad to have problems securing staying in the Eliteserien. However, after 17 rounds and 28 points, they are 11 points ahead of the drop zone. The job is not done, but Fredrikstad should feel about their chances of avoiding relegation. Andreas Hagen's team has played solid lately, as they have not been defeated in the previous four matches. In the last game, Fredrikstad played 0-0 at home against KFUM Oslo. The home side created much more quality chances for scoring, but they lacked efficiency, so the teams split the points. 

Haugesund expected to be a mid-table team this season, but they are having big problems right now as Sancheev Manoharan's team collected only 17 points from 17 matches. Haugesund are currently in the relegation zone, but the safety is only one point ahead. Manoharan's team lost the last three matches in a row. In the previous match, they lost 1-0 at home against HamKam. The home side created more xG during the game, but Haugesund again stayed empty-handed. 

Fredrikstad vs Haugesund pick: Under 2.5 goals

Fredrikstad scored only three goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Haugesund went under 2.5 goals in three of the previous five games. We shouldn't see more than two goals in this tie between Fredrikstad and Haugesund.
