As the Eliteserien season heats up, the weekend fixtures from 19 to 26 August 2025 promise to be pivotal in both the title race and the relegation battle.
On Friday, KFUM Oslo will host HamKam in a clash that could be crucial for both sides. KFUM are currently fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone, while HamKam will be eager to secure points to improve their mid-table position. With the home advantage, KFUM will be looking to capitalize on any defensive lapses from their opponents.
Saturday sees Rosenborg take on Sandefjord at Lerkendal Stadion. Rosenborg, traditionally one of Norway’s strongest teams, will aim to continue their push for the title. Sandefjord, however, are struggling near the bottom of the table and will need a spirited performance to earn a positive result.
Sunday’s action kicks off with Haugesund versus Vålerenga. Haugesund have been inconsistent, while Vålerenga are in contention for European qualification. Both teams will be keen to secure maximum points, which makes this an intriguing encounter.
In another Sunday double-header, Brann will face Fredrikstad and Bryne will host Strømsgodset. Brann, currently in the relegation mix, will be desperate for a win against the visiting Fredrikstad, who are also looking to escape their own struggles. Meanwhile, Bryne will seek to bolster their survival hopes against a Strømsgodset side aiming for a top-half finish.
Finally, Molde will take on Tromsø in a potentially explosive match. Molde are vying for the title and will look to leverage their home advantage against a mid-table Tromsø side.
The week wraps up on Monday with Sarpsborg 08 facing Kristiansund. Sarpsborg is in the thick of the relegation battle and cannot afford to drop points at home, making this match a must-watch for fans and bettors alike. With so much at stake, expect a weekend full of drama and intensity across the Eliteserien.
