Tromsø vs Start – 6 December 2026, Eliteserien: H2H, form and match facts

Tromsø host a struggling Start side in what promises to be a decisive clash for the hosts, who sit fourth in the table with 35 points from ten wins, five draws and five defeats, boasting a solid +10 goal difference (37‑27). The visitors, languishing in 16th place with just 16 points after four wins, four draws and twelve losses, have a worrying –19 margin (22‑41) and will need to tighten up at the back to have any hope of an upset. Historically, Tromsø have the clear edge in recent meetings, and the home advantage combined with their superior attacking record should make them the favorites to extend their push for a top‑four finish. For Start, a point would be a lifeline in the relegation battle, but the odds are heavily stacked against them as they travel to a confident Tromsø side eager to maintain momentum.
