Start vs Fredrikstad Prediction 8 August 2026
🔊 Sometimes the table doesn't tell the whole story. Start remain the clear underdogs in the league, but home matches are exactly where the team sees a chance to turn things around. Fredrikstad feel more settled, though they too are clearly lacking consistency. The two sides met in a tense match not long ago, and now the hosts have a chance to get revenge.
Head-to-Head
The last official match between the teams took place on 29 May 2026 and ended with a score of 2:1. Here is the comparative statistics from that match (home side - Fredrikstad):
- possession: 62% vs 38%;
- corner kicks: 2 vs 1;
- fouls: 15 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;
- shots on target: 5 vs 4.
📊 The last match between these sides took place in May this year. Start opened the scoring as early as the 8th minute: Jesper Cornelius Rasmussen got on the scoresheet after a pass from Håkon Lorentzen. After the break, Fredrikstad managed to turn the game around. First Daniel Eid scored, then he assisted Oscar Ølenschlæger, who brought his team the victory (2:1). Before that, the clubs had only met in 2023, when Start finished the match with ten men following a red card.
Head-to-head statistics Start - Fredrikstad
Start Team Overview
The last official match was played on in the Eliteserien (home side - Start, away side - Viking). The match ended 0:3.
Match statistics (Start vs Viking):
- possession: 52% vs 48%;
- corners: 6 vs 5;
- fouls: 12 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
- shots on target: 4 vs 7.
The season has been a tough one so far. Last place in the table reflects the team's main problem well - the defence makes mistakes too often, and holding on to a lead is becoming increasingly difficult. Over the last four Eliteserien rounds, Start have lost three times, managing only a win over Kristiansund (2:1). That said, the team does still create chances going forward. Jesper Cornelius Rasmussen remains the main hope in attack, while Mikael Ugland sets the tempo in midfield and regularly takes the initiative. At home, Start will almost certainly not sit back, as the hosts have little left to lose.

Fredrikstad Team Overview
The away side's last official match took place in the Eliteserien (home side - Fredrikstad, away side - Sandefjord). The match ended 1-0.
The match stats were as follows (Fredrikstad vs Sandefjord):
- possession: 38% vs 62%;
- corners: 6 vs 5;
- fouls: 12 vs 7;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 0;
- shots on target: 5 vs 2.
The visitors are having a calmer season, though it can hardly be called ideal either. After 14 rounds, the team have 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats. Since Kevin Nicol's arrival, Fredrikstad have been trying to control the ball more and use the width of the pitch more often. In the previous match against Start, possession reached 62%, and that control largely helped turn the game around. One of the most prominent players remains Oscar Elhenschläger. It was his precise strike that secured the win in the May match, and the midfielder's activity between the lines regularly causes serious problems for opponents.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
It feels like the match will again be fairly open. Start need points, so the hosts have little reason to play cautiously for long. That kind of football almost always leaves space, and Fredrikstad know how to exploit it. The statistics also point towards a high-scoring game. Total over 2.5 has landed in five consecutive Start matches in the Eliteserien. On top of that, the last three head-to-head meetings between these two sides ended with at least three goals scored. So a bet on total over 2.5 looks like the most logical option.
