Norwegian First Division Fixtures

The same as the Elitserien, the Norwegian First Division also counts 16 teams. Being that they traditionally use the round-robin home/away system, each team plays 30 games per season, which totals 480 games in a single season.

The tp two teams of the league gain direct promotion to the Elitserien, while those ranked three to six get one more chance through the promotion playoffs. On the other hand, the two lowest-ranked teams are directly relegated to the Second Division, with the third-ranked team from behind going to the relegation playoffs.

To help you traverse the journey through the second division of Noweagan football, you can find a lot of Norwegian First Division betting tips on our page. Match analysis, stats, direct insight, and thoughts is what we are able to provide. Not only that, but we also have our very own football expert insights for those of you who are looking for something additional.

Compared to some other European leagues, football in Norway is usually played between April and November of the same year. Either way, if you need some additional Norwegian First Division betting tips, we propose going through some stats.

Norwegian First Division Betting Tips

The main part that our Norwegian First Division betting tips point out is the number of goals scored in this league. With a total of 789 goals scored last season, the league averages 3.29 goals a game, which is pretty high as it gives you an idea when it comes to your betting ideas.

Predominantly, home teams are better, as they win 44% of the time. However, visitors also have a good chance of winning at 35% of wins coming on the road. At the same time, there have been 22% of games that ended in a draw.

When it comes to home goals per match, they amount to 1.78, while away goals come down to 1.51. The situation where both teams scored happened 60% of the time, further emphasising the high goal-scoring average.

All in all, 85% of matches ended with 1.5+ goals, 69% at 2.5+ goals, and 42% at 3.5+ goals. Basically, it means that betting on goals is the safest bet. Favourites do tend to win, but the home-field advantage does not play a significant role, as you would think.
