Fredrikstad host Tromso in the Norwegian Eliteserien. Tromso have generally had the better of this season so far, sitting well clear of their hosts in the table.
The two sides have met several times over the past couple of seasons, and that record leans one way. Whether that pattern holds up again is the interesting part.

Tromso's equivalent sample, which mixes Eliteserien games with European football, shows 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. They've scored 38 and conceded 32, a much livelier goal difference that includes a 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt but also a 0-5 defeat to Cluj.
Tromso have looked capable of scoring freely, but their defence has had its shaky moments too.

Players to watch
Tromso's attack has leaned heavily on H. Larsen, who has 10 goals in 21 appearances this season, with J. Hjertø-Dahl adding 7 in fewer matches and R. Jenssen supplying 8 assists. The information available on Fredrikstad's squad is limited to disciplinary numbers, so there's not enough here to point to their key attacking threats.
Tromso's goal threat looks fairly concentrated in a couple of players.

Tromso arrive with the better league position and a head-to-head record that's gone their way in recent seasons. Fredrikstad's home form doesn't offer much to counter that on its own.
With no market currently available for this one, there's nothing concrete to back a selection against, so we're passing on this fixture for now.
