As the Eliteserien season approaches its climax, the fixtures from 19 August to 26 August 2025 promise to be pivotal for both title contenders and teams battling relegation.
Kicking off the round on Friday, KFUM Oslo will host HamKam at 17:00. KFUM, currently hovering just above the relegation zone, will be desperate for points to secure their top-flight status. HamKam, meanwhile, is mid-table and could seek to capitalize on any defensive lapses.
Saturday sees Rosenborg face Sandefjord at 16:00. The Trondheim giants are fighting for a European spot and will look to assert their dominance against a Sandefjord side struggling to find their form. Given Rosenborg’s home advantage, they will be strong favourites in this matchup.
Sunday’s action begins with Haugesund taking on Vålerenga at 12:30. Both teams have experienced inconsistent spells this season, but Haugesund’s home form could give them the edge. Following that, Brann will host Fredrikstad and Bryne will face Strømsgodset, both at 15:00. These encounters are crucial for teams fighting to avoid relegation; Brann and Fredrikstad are particularly under pressure to deliver points.
The day’s final match features Molde against Tromsø at 17:15, where Molde will be looking to close the gap on league leaders. Tromsø, sitting precariously near the drop zone, will aim for an upset to alleviate their relegation fears.
Finally, on Monday, Sarpsborg 08 will host Kristiansund at 17:00. Sarpsborg remains in contention for a top-half finish, while Kristiansund’s struggles continue, putting them in a perilous position.
With so much at stake, this week’s fixtures could significantly impact the title race and relegation battle, making them essential viewing for fans and punters alike.
