Tromso vs Haugesund Prediction

Contrasting recent form

Tromso's last 20 games show 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, with 38 scored and 32 conceded. A chunk of that sample comes from Conference League and Europa League fixtures mixed in with the league programme, which explains some of the up-and-down results including a 4-0 win over Brighton and a 5-0 loss at Aalesund.

Haugesund's record in the same window is far more one-sided. Fourteen wins from twenty in the 1. Division, with 62 goals scored against 35 conceded, points to a team scoring freely and rarely losing. That's a division below Tromso, though, so the numbers aren't directly comparable.

Haugesund arrive in better rhythm by results alone, even allowing for the level difference.

Comparative Team Statistics: Tromso vs Haugesund

A long h2h history, split fairly evenly

These sides have met close to twenty times since 2016, almost entirely in Eliteserien when both were in the same division. Results have gone back and forth over the years rather than favouring one club heavily.

The most recent meeting, in October 2025, saw Tromso win 3-2 away at Haugesund. Before that Tromso won at home in March 2025, while Haugesund had taken the previous meeting in November 2024. None of that is from this competition, though, and it predates Haugesund's drop out of the top flight.

A cup leveller between the divisions

This is a one-off Norwegian Cup tie between a top-flight side and a second-tier one, which tends to flatten the gap a bit compared with league form. Haugesund's scoring record in 1. Division suggests they won't simply sit back and hope to survive.

Tromso's season has included a busy run of European fixtures alongside the league, and that workload has coincided with some inconsistent results. Whether that affects selection or freshness for this cup date isn't something we can say from the data here.
