Club Friendlies 1
Historically, this has been a competitive fixture. Strømmen have generally enjoyed the upper hand over recent years, although several meetings have been closely contested. The last competitive encounter came in the 2025 Norwegian Cup, where Strømmen edged Raufoss 2-1. Their most recent league clashes date back to the 2021 campaign, with Raufoss winning 4-2 at home after the reverse fixture had finished 1-1.
Raufoss team overview
Raufoss's season has been frustratingly inconsistent. They have collected just three victories from their opening 13 league matches, scoring 16 goals while conceding a whopping 31. However, despite their lowly position, their home performances have shown greater attacking promise (11 goals in six matches).
The Yellow-Blacks have scored three goals in each of their last three home league fixtures, defeating Bryne 3-0 and Sogndal 3-1 before narrowly losing an entertaining 4-3 contest against Haugesund.
At the time of writing, there are no major confirmed injury or suspension concerns reported ahead of Friday's fixture, meaning the hosts are expected to have close to a full squad available. Adrian Rogulj leads the scoring charts with four goals this season.

Stroemmen team overview
Strømmen arrive with slightly improved momentum after consecutive home victories over Stabæk (1-0) and Moss (3-2). Those wins ended a difficult run and have lifted confidence inside the squad, although away form remains a concern. The visitors have won just once on their travels this season and have suffered four away defeats from six league matches.
No significant new injury or suspension updates have emerged ahead of the match, leaving Strømmen expected to field a similar starting XI to the side that defeated Moss last weekend.
Norwegian forward Nikolay Jakobsen Hristov is the focal point of their attack, having netted eight times this season.

Prediction
Given both clubs' defensive records, goals should be expected. Raufoss have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last seven league matches, while Strømmen possess the division's leakiest defence. However, those matches came against stronger opposition that were able to exploit both teams' defensive frailties, as neither Raufoss nor Strømmen are particularly potent going forward. Goals are expected, but under 3.5 goals still looks like an appealing bet.
Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Under 3.5 Goals
- Three of Raufoss's last five league matches have produced under 3.5 goals.
- Two of Strømmen's last three away league matches have produced under 3.5 goals.
- The last four meetings between Raufoss and Strømmen have also produced under 3.5 goals.
