Stromsgodset vs Haugesund - Match Preview (03.08.2025)

Match Preview in Eliteserien: Strømsgodset Meets Haugesund at Marienlyst Stadium

This Sunday, there is a matchup in the Eliteserien where Strømsgodset hosts Haugesund at Marienlyst Stadium. Both teams enter this match with similar form curves, and both will desperately want to turn a negative trend around.

Strømsgodset has had a turbulent season so far, with 11 losses in 13 matches. With a home record showing a total of seven losses, the team from Drammen faces a challenging task. In their last five encounters, Strømsgodset has lost four times, with a 2-3 defeat against Tromsø being the most recent in the series. The positive aspect they can bring into this match is their offensive prowess, where the 46-60 minute mark seems to be their most fruitful period for scoring goals.

On the other side stands Haugesund, who has struggled even more this season. After playing 14 matches, they have only managed two draws and have lost a total of 12 times. Haugesund has, however, kept a clean sheet at home twice but hasn't been able to score any goals away from home since the start of the season. Victory feels far away for Haugesund, especially after losing four of their last five matches, including a 0-2 home defeat against KFUM Oslo in their last outing.

Historically, the encounters between these teams at Marienlyst Stadium have varied. The last meeting between Strømsgodset and Haugesund at Strømsgodset's home ground ended in a 2-2 draw in 2020, while the previous match in 2019 resulted in a 3-2 victory for Strømsgodset. Haugesund's last win at Marienlyst came in 2018 when they won 1-0.

Both Strømsgodset and Haugesund need points to improve their positions in the Eliteserien this season. It will be exciting to see which team can best capitalize on their opportunities this time. A match with chances for both teams, but it could also result in a lively and unpredictable encounter.

Strømsgodset will hope to use the support from their home fans at Marienlyst Stadium to secure vital points, while Haugesund will look to capture points away from home to break their losing streak.
