Sogndal vs Kongsvinger prediction 22.06.2024

• Competition: OBOS-Ligaen
• Date: Saturday, 22nd June, 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UTC +1 / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Fosshaugane Campus (Sogndal)

Sogndal are playing its seventh season in OBOS-Ligaen since getting relegated from Eliteserien. During their time in Obos-Ligaen, Sogndal were constantly in the upper part of the league's table. In the last two seasons, they finished 7th, just outside the playoff spots. This year, even though it is still early, Sogndal are looking once again like a team that will battle to secure playoffs or even a direct promotion. Right now, they are 6th with 20 points, just four away from 2nd placed Valerenga and five away from their next opponent, Kongsvinger, and the top spot.

Kongsvinger are a team on the rise. They won promotion from the third tier in 2021 and finished sixth and third in the following two seasons. Unfortunately, they failed to achieve promotion via playoffs. Now, they have started the season well, as they are currently holding the top spot with 25 points after 13 rounds. Still, the last game against Asane was a disaster, losing 5:0 at home, and we expect a good response from the team.

Sogndal vs Kongsvinger pick: Over 2.5 goals

Sogndal have had mixed results lately, but we could see a similar pattern of high-scoring games, as their last four games finished with at least three goals. During those four games, we saw an average of 3.75 goals per game, with both teams scoring. Also, Sogndal have scored at least one goal in all seven home games (in all competitions) so far. W expect them to score against the league's leader, who had massive problems defensively.

Kongsvinger's defense totally collapsed in the last two games, allowing a shocking nine goals! On the other hand, we trust in their offensive capabilities, as they scored at least two goals in five of the last six matches.

The last h2h game ended as a 3:3 draw. Now, considering all the above, we strongly believe we will see another high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
