Haugesund and KFUM Oslo will battle for three points in an Eliteserien matchday 13 clash on Sunday (July 13th). The game will be played at Haugesund Stadion.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat they suffered away to Sarpsborg 08 last weekend. They went into the break in the lead thanks to Sander Innvaer’s sixth-minute strike. Daniel Karlsbakk equalized in the opening seconds of the second half in an eventual hat-trick to help his side claim all three points.
KFUM, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Bryne. Both goals came in the second half, with the visitors going ahead through Axel Kryger’s 53rd-minute penalty. Jan de Boer was sent off for Bryne and things went from bad to worse for them when Jacob Haar put through his own net for the equalizer.
The stalemate left the capital side in 14th spot in the standings, having garnered 12 points from as many games. Haugesund sit at the foot of the standings on just two points.

Haugesund vs KFUM Prediction
Haugesund have made a disastrous start to the season and are already relegation-bound before the midway point of the campaign. They would need a massive upturn in fortune to avoid the drop and are yet to win a game, losing 10 of 12.
KFUM, for their part, performed creditably in what was their debut season of top-flight football last term. They finished in a respectable eighth spot but things have not been as smooth this season as they sit in the relegation zone.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
