Two newly promoted sides in the Norwegian top flight go head-to-head on Monday as Fredrikstad welcome Kristiansund to the Aker Stadion in Molde.
After beating Valerenga 5-4 on penalties, Kristiansund returned to the top flight for the first time in two years, and they seem to be making good use of the opportunity. Amund Skiri’s side are currently winless in two matches, with that run featuring a 5-0 defeat to Brann, but the most important thing is that the club is five places above the red zone.
Fredrikstad meanwhile had a campaign to remember in the first division last season. The visitors won Division 1 with a six points difference over runners-up KFUM and in doing so secured their first ever promotion to the top flight. Having lost only two of their twelve games so far, Mikkjal Thomassen’s men sit in the top four and are looking to continue this form.
Kristiansund BK vs Fredrikstad Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The last time these two sides faced each other was in the second division almost a year ago. That encounter produced five goals, and I fancy Monday’s game to end similarly.
Kristiansund last kept a clean sheet three months ago. The hosts have played 12 games since then and shipped at least two goals in seven of those encounters. Five of the last produced over 2.5 goals.
Fredrikstad recent games away from the Nye Fredrikstad Stadion have also been very entertaining. All but one of the last five games of the visitors on the road produced at least three goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Kristiansund BK team news
Niklas Jensen Wassberg will be unavailable to Kristiansund BK head coach Amund Skiri on Monday due to injury.
Jensen has missed the last 14 games due to a knee injury and Monday’s game against Fredrikstad will come too soon for the midfielder.
Hilmir Rafn Mikaelsson has found the back of the net only twice this season, but the forward will retain his place at the tip of the attack and could be supported by Pape Habib Guèye and Oskar Sivertsen who have seven games between them.
