Tromsoe vs Hradec Prediction 23 July 2026
🔊 In the second qualifying round of the Europa League, Tromsø take on Czech side Hradec Králové. The Norwegian club comes into this match in better shape - their league season is ongoing, while the visitors are still building fitness through pre-season friendlies. That difference in match sharpness could be a key factor in the first leg.
Head-to-Head
📊 This will be the first meeting between Tromsø and Hradec Králové. The two sides have never played each other before.
Head-to-head statistics Tromsoe - Hradec
Tromsoe Team Overview
The main advantage for the Norwegian side is consistent match rhythm. The Norwegian league is in full swing, so Jørgen Vik's team arrives at their European campaign opener in good shape and with no shortage of competitive minutes. The artificial pitch at Alfheim is another factor - visiting teams often struggle to adapt to it.
Recent results back up Tromsø's form. In the league they've beaten Ham-Kam 4-1 and put four past Vålerenga without reply. Their game is built around defensive discipline, high fitness levels and quick counters - particularly dangerous at home.
Match Results: Tromsoe
Hradec Kralove Team Overview
The Czech club's new season hasn't started yet, so they come into this European tie off the back of a series of friendlies. The last of those was a 3-3 draw with Metalist - four preseason games in total, two wins and two draws.
David Horejš's side know how to sit back and make life difficult for stronger opponents through disciplined defensive organization. But the lack of competitive minutes could show in the second half, when the intensity picks up. A trip to Norway against a side already in match rhythm makes that an even tougher ask.

🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The match will be refereed by Israeli official Snir Levi. Over his last 20 matches, he averages 2.88 yellow cards per game. Neither side ranks among the more aggressive teams, and both tend to keep the card count low. Taking the first leg into account as well, the most interesting option here is total yellow cards under 2.5.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Tromsø arrive in good form - 12 goals scored across their last two competitive matches and one friendly. Hradec Králové also showed plenty in attack during pre-season, netting nine times in four friendlies, which works out to 2.25 goals per game. Both teams have enough going forward, so the most appealing option is total goals over 2, at odds of 1.47*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Tromsø average 4.2 corners per match over their last five games. Hradec Králové are at 3.25 per game across four friendlies, and they haven't been particularly active from set-piece situations in competitive football either. Given how both sides tend to play, the most interesting option is total corners under 9.5, at 1.95*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Tromsø go into this first leg in better shape, they've had regular competitive football and their recent Eliteserien results back that up. Hradec Králové are only just getting their season started, with nothing but friendlies behind them, so the visitors may run out of steam before the 90 minutes are up. Home advantage matters too: Tromsø have lost just one of their last 11 at home. The most interesting option here is a Tromsø win. If they keep up their current level, expect a 2-1 on the scoreboard.
