Bryne – Strømsgodset 24-08-2025

A real bottom-of-the-table showdown when we head to Jæren between two of the pre-relegation favorites. Bryne has overperformed early in the season, while

Strømsgodset has underperformed somewhat severely. This means that we go into this match with Bryne in 14th place and 19 points, which gives them a qualifying place. While Strømsgodset is in the place below, but only 9 points have been recorded after 18 matches so far.

Neither team is in form at the moment, and we believe it will be an unentertaining match.

Bryne – Typical promotion team.

Bryne has delivered this season as many other promoted teams have done before them. There is no doubt that Bryne entered this year's season with a good dose of self-confidence and commitment after their promotion last year. They also had a good start to the season.

They had 12 points after 9 games played. That is half of the games they have played so far. That means they have only taken 7 points in the next 9. A trend that over time is reminiscent of many other teams that have come up. Because when the season has settled down, the greatest commitment often gives up a little. And when the results are against it, it is not as easy to keep the good experience from last year. It settles in the players, coaches, and the audience a little. So then suddenly everything seems so much more difficult.

Psychologically this is a familiar theme. Looking at an even shorter period, they have only taken 1 point in the last 5 games, and they have not scored more than 2 goals in these. We see a team that is struggling, and they will certainly be happy to keep Strømsgodset at a good distance after this game. So avoiding defeat will be a result they can live with.

We therefore believe in a somewhat pragmatic approach to the match, and self-confidence and match form will probably do their part to ensure that we will see a different Bryne team than we did a few matches ago. Let's take a look at the team that has made them even worse.

Strømsgodset – Desperate to get a result.

Strømsgodset's season can almost be decided by the result they get in this match. The team needs 3 points in this one. If they manage that, they will be 7 points behind Bryne, who are in the qualifiers, and that will give them something to play for.

After Fagermo came in, things have actually looked a little better. But they have had a very tough match schedule. There has been one victory. But it was against Haugesund, and perhaps a little expected. Otherwise, they have faced very tough opposition over a longer period. There are many good matches coming up for them now, where they will face teams that are in the lower half. That makes this period even more important. Because now is when the team has the opportunity to get out of their problems.

But as is the case with the home team, Strømsgodset are also struggling to find the back of the net. They have only 7 goals in the last 10 games. At the same time, we see that the team can close the gap when they need to. They kept a clean sheet against Haugesund, and only conceded 1 goal against Viking away, and Bodø Glimt away. Considering that they cannot afford to lose this game, which will cause them to end up 13 points behind Bryne. We also expect a pragmatic approach from the away team.

We still see the away team as a slight favorite. But we're going for a game we think is more relevant. We'll look at why.

Conclusion – A close match.

As we have written, we believe in a close match. Where the team that eventually takes the lead will try to secure the victory. That is the match picture we see for us anyway. This again means that it may not be a goal-scoring match. This is also supported by the fact that the teams are struggling to score goals. We will therefore try the following games.
