Start vs KFUM Match Preview

Start look to regain composure against visiting KFUM
James Ampofo remains the focal point for Start as they prepare for a crucial Eliteserien encounter at the Sparebanken Norge Arena on 30 August 2026. The forward’s ability to find space in the final third will be pivotal if the hosts are to break their recent run of difficult results in the league.
The tactical challenge for the hosts
Start enter this matchday 19 fixture aiming to address a recurring issue that has plagued their recent performances. With 8 goals conceded after the 75th minute in their last 10 matches, maintaining defensive concentration until the final whistle will be the primary objective for the backline, including Ousmane Toure and John Olav Norheim.
Personnel and expected lineups
For the expected XI, Start are set to rely on the midfield trio of Mikael Ugland, Eirik Schulze, and Erlend Segberg to dictate the tempo. Up front, James Ampofo will likely be joined by Jesper Cornelius and Haakon Lorentzen in an attempt to challenge the opposition defence.
KFUM arrive in Kristiansand with a depleted squad, facing significant absences including Robin Rasch, Magnus Retsius Groedem, Emil Oedegaard, and Fredrik Tobias Berglie. Their expected lineup features Bilal Njie and Julian Bakkeli Gonstad as the primary attacking threats, supported by a midfield anchored by Jonas Lange Hjorth and Martin Tangen Vinjor.
Recent form and momentum
Start’s path to this match has been testing, marked by a difficult run of results in the Eliteserien, though they did find a positive outcome in their most recent outing, a 2-1 win over Flekkefjord in the cup on 22 August. They will be looking to translate that cup success into a much-needed league victory to stabilize their position.
KFUM have shown more consistency in their recent league form, highlighted by a 1-0 win away to Sandefjord and a 2-1 victory over Kristiansund BK earlier in August. Their momentum was bolstered by a convincing 4-0 cup win against Ready, suggesting they are well-prepared for the trip to the Sparebanken Norge Arena.
History and tactical outlook
Previous meetings between these two sides have often been high-scoring affairs, most notably a 5-4 win for Start in a club friendly in February 2023. However, the most recent competitive encounter saw KFUM secure a 2-0 victory in the Eliteserien back on 15 March, a result that will provide the visitors with confidence heading into this match.
Expect a tactical battle as KFUM attempt to exploit the late-game defensive vulnerabilities that have haunted Start throughout the summer. If the hosts can manage the closing stages with more discipline, they have the attacking talent to disrupt a KFUM side currently dealing with multiple key injuries.
