The key duel: Fredrikstad FK's attack against IK Start's back line.
IK Start welcome Fredrikstad FK in the Eliteserien. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. IK Start will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Fredrikstad FK travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. IK Start average 1.1 goals per game and Fredrikstad FK manage 1.0. Combined that's just 2.1. We make it only 55% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Neither defence inspires confidence. Both sides rarely keep clean sheets. Open, attacking football is on the cards.
