Start look to regain composure at home against KFUM
James Ampofo carries the creative burden for Start as they look to navigate a challenging patch of form in the Eliteserien. With his ability to stretch defensive lines, the forward will be central to how the hosts approach this encounter at the Sparebanken Norge Arena Kristiansand on Sunday, 30 August 2026.
Start enter this matchday 19 fixture aiming to steady the ship after a difficult run of results. While they managed to progress in the cup with a 2-1 win over Flekkefjord on 22 August, their league form has been hampered by defensive vulnerabilities in the final quarter of matches. Conceding eight goals after the 75th minute in their last 10 outings highlights a concentration issue that the coaching staff will be desperate to rectify.
For the expected XI, Start are set to rely on the defensive quartet of Ousmane Toure, John Olav Norheim, Jens Huseboe, and Erlend Dahl Reitan to provide stability in front of goalkeeper Filip Manojlovic. In midfield, the trio of Mikael Ugland, Eirik Schulze, and Erlend Segberg will be tasked with controlling the tempo and feeding the attacking front line of Ampofo, Jesper Cornelius, and Haakon Lorentzen.
KFUM arrive with a depleted squad, facing significant absences including Robin Rasch, Magnus Retsius Groedem, Emil Oedegaard, and Fredrik Tobias Berglie. Despite these setbacks, the visitors are expected to field a competitive side, with Bilal Njie and Julian Bakkeli Gonstad leading the line. Their midfield setup, anchored by Jonas Lange Hjorth and Martin Tangen Vinjor, will need to be disciplined to counter the home side's movement.
KFUM have shown resilience in their recent league outings, including a narrow 1-0 victory against Sandefjord on 7 August and a 2-1 win over Kristiansund BK earlier that month. Their most recent meeting with Start occurred on 15 March, where KFUM secured a 2-0 win. That result serves as a reminder of the competitive nature of this fixture, which has seen varied outcomes in recent years, including a high-scoring 5-4 victory for Start in a club friendly in February 2023.
This match will likely hinge on how well Start can manage their defensive shape during the closing stages of the game. If they can maintain their intensity for the full 90 minutes, they have the personnel to test a KFUM backline that will be missing key regulars. Conversely, if KFUM can exploit the spaces left by a desperate home side, they have the attacking options to punish any lapses in concentration at the Sparebanken Norge Arena.
