Kristiansund BK welcome IK Start at Nordmore Stadion, Kristiansund on Saturday, Jul 25 at 4:00 PM in a Eliteserien fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Kristiansund BK come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). IK Start, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Kristiansund BK and IK Start have split their 6 meetings almost evenly (2W–2D–2W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Kristiansund BK win or a draw looks most likely.
