Start vs Tromsø – 3 May 2026, Eliteserien: H2H, form and match facts

Start’s home draw with Tromsø left the Norwegian side perched just four places above them, with the visitors consolidating a fourth‑place spot on 35 points after ten wins, five draws and five defeats. The 1‑1 stalemate added another point to Start’s modest tally of 16, keeping them in 16th place with a meagre record of four victories, four draws and twelve losses and a goal difference of –19. Tromsø’s goal‑scoring edge was evident, having netted 37 times while conceding 27, compared with Start’s 22 for and 41 against. The two clubs met only once before this season, a goalless encounter, so the draw preserved the dead‑heat in their head‑to‑head history. Both sides now look to build on the result, with Tromsø eyeing a push for the top‑four and Start fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.
