Stromsgodset vs Stabaek - Match Preview (05.04.2026)

Exciting Match in the 1. Division: Strømsgodset Faces Stabæk at Marienlyst Stadion

Strømsgodset welcomes Stabæk to Marienlyst Stadion in what promises to be an exciting encounter in the Norwegian 1. Division. After a challenging period in the Eliteserien, Strømsgodset is diving down to a lower division and faces a Stabæk team that has also faced its own challenges.

Strømsgodset comes into this match following a series of disappointing results. In their last five matches, they have lost all of them, including a brutal 0-6 defeat against Rosenborg at Lerkendal. Although they have managed to find the back of the net a few times, they have conceded far too many goals, with 6 goals against both Rosenborg and Sandefjord, and 2 goals against both Kristiansund BK, Viking, and Vålerenga.

Stabæk has also had a mixed form lately, with three consecutive losses towards the end of the season. Their most recent match ended in a 0-3 defeat against Lillestrøm. Prior to that, they were beaten 1-5 at home by Lyn, and they lost 2-3 against Mjøndalen. However, they showed what they are made of with a strong 3-1 victory away against Hødd and a 2-0 win against Åsane.

Historically, the teams have often delivered exciting encounters against each other. The last time they met in the Eliteserien, it ended 2-2, a result that illustrates the close competition between these two teams. Normally, Strømsgodset has been the dominant team in the head-to-head statistics, with more wins in the past, but Stabæk has won their last two meetings, winning 2-0 in 2020 and 2-1 in 2019.

Both Strømsgodset and Stabæk will be eager to secure a win in this match, as both teams will see this as an opportunity to start the season on the right foot. A match at Marienlyst Stadion gives Strømsgodset the home advantage, but will they be able to translate this into a victory? Or will Stabæk draw inspiration from their previous successes against the Drammen club?

As the kickoff approaches, everything is set for an exhilarating football evening in Drammen.
