With seven wins from 11 matches and a chance to go top with just two points, Tromsø are strong favourites, especially after winning seven of their last nine home games.

Meanwhile, 15th-placed Aalesund remain stuck in relegation trouble despite a surprise win over Brann, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 straight matches.

Tromsø have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far, winning seven of their 11 league matches and holding the joint-best defensive record in the division with six clean sheets.

'Kane to Barca? They don't have the money'

Despite suffering a heavy 5-0 loss away to Bodø/Glimt in their latest outing, the hosts remain extremely reliable on home soil.

Tromsø have now won seven of their last nine home matches in all competitions and recently secured convincing victories against Molde and Sandefjord.

Across their last six games, Tromsø recorded three wins, one draw, and two defeats.

During that period, they averaged 1.17 goals scored and 2 goals conceded per match.

Interestingly, only 33 percent of those fixtures saw both teams score, underlining how often Tromsø games are decided by defensive control.

Their 2-0 home victory over Molde further demonstrated their ability to dominate quality opposition at Romssa Arena.

Three Italian giants fighting for two European spots

Much of Tromsø’s success this season has been driven by the influence of Jens Hjertø-Dahl, who leads the club with five goals.

Ruben Jenssen has also been instrumental creatively, providing five assists already this campaign.

Lars Larsen and Henrik Larsen continue to offer attacking movement in the final third, while goalkeeper Haugaard remains a commanding presence behind a disciplined back three.

Aalesund travel into this contest with renewed confidence after back-to-back wins over Rosenborg and Brann, results that temporarily eased pressure on the squad.

However, consistency remains a major concern. Before those victories, Aalesund had gone four games without a win and continue to struggle defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions.

Their recent six-match run produced two wins, one draw, and three defeats.

Aalesund averaged 1.17 goals scored while conceding 1.67 per game during that stretch, with both teams scoring in 67 percent of their matches.

Half of the Premier League teams are rooting for City

Defensive instability has been particularly evident away from home, where they lost to Bodø/Glimt and Sandefjord while conceding five goals combined.

Kasper Lonebu remains Aalesund’s biggest attacking threat after scoring five league goals this season.

Midfielder Orsahl has contributed creatively with two assists, but the team continues to struggle defensively despite tactical adjustments.

Goalkeeper Klaesson is likely to face heavy pressure again against one of the league’s strongest home attacks.

The previous meeting between these sides ended in a narrow 1-0 win for Aalesund during a club friendly in March 2025.

Competitive encounters, however, heavily favour Tromsø’s current momentum and overall structure.

Key Betting Pointer;

• Tromsø have won the 2nd-most games this season (7)
• Tromsø has kept the most clean sheets in the league this season (6)
• Aalesund has failed to keep a single clean sheet in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions
• Tromsø has won two of its last three home matches comfortably, including a 2-0 shutout against Molde
• Tromsø have won seven of their last nine home games

All signs suggest Tromsø are well-positioned to bounce back strongly after their defeat to Bodø/Glimt. Given their superior squad quality, solid defensive structure, and outstanding home record, the hosts look likely to come out on top.

Prediction; Tromsø IL to win.
