Fredrikstad vs Haugesund prediction and betting tips - August 14, 2024
On August 14, Fredrikstad will host a match of the 14th round of the Norwegian Elite Series, in which Fredrikstad will play against Haugesunn. Offers an individual prediction from Dailysports experts.
“Fredrikstad”
The team has a glorious history - enough and championship titles, and cup trophies. But the last title, in the form of the Norwegian Cup, was taken in 2006. After a couple of years, they lost their place in the top division of the country. First managed to return "from the get-go", and since 2013, the club dangled between the second and third divisions of the country. Only last year, having won the second league, the Reds managed to return to the Elite Series.
It is clear that no ambitious goals were set, thinking simply to gain a foothold at a long-neglected level. But at the moment, the newcomer remains among the contenders for fourth place and, therefore, to enter the European Cup. True, in recent rounds, the club seems to have slowed down, winning only one match out of eight - against Ham-Kam. But also lost only twice in this stretch, carried away by draws.
“Haugesunn”
The club is quite young - he celebrated his thirtieth anniversary last year. During this time, he reached the "bronze" of the Norwegian championship, and played, however, unsuccessfully, in the final of the country's cup. In addition, there were three starts in the Europa League, but there the Scandinavians were knocked out, if not the first, then the second opponent. The main thing is that the Seagulls managed to gain a foothold in the Elite Series. But it is this status that can be lost now. Last season brought twelfth place - the worst for the last eight draws.
Now they are only one point away from Sandefjord, which closes the table. It seemed that in mid-July they managed to improve: they drew with Brann and even defeated Viking. But that month ended with a defeat to the main outsider of the championship, well, and 2-4 with "Buda/Glimt" did not surprise anyone at all, except that it was surprising that the champion did not defeat the outsider.
