Home advantage: the strongest in the series
Home teams have won half of all Eliteserien matches this season. That is the highest home win rate of the four leagues in this series:
| League | Home wins | Draws | Away wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eliteserien 2026 | 50.0% | 19.8% | 30.2% |
| Danish Superliga 2026/27 | 44.4% | 30.6% | 25.0% |
| LaLiga 2026/27 | 44.4% | 27.3% | 28.3% |
| Allsvenskan 2026 | 39.2% | 24.5% | 36.3% |
Two features of Norwegian football are often pointed to: long away trips in a long country, and the number of clubs playing on artificial pitches that visiting sides are less used to. Whatever the cause, the contrast with Allsvenskan, where home and away win rates are only three points apart, is striking.
Last season showed the same pattern: across the 205 of 2025's 240 matches in our data, home teams won 47.8%, draws were 20.0% and away teams won 32.2%.
Our home and away statistics show which teams are strongest at home and weakest on the road.
Goals: over three a game
At 3.20 goals per game, Eliteserien scores more than Allsvenskan (2.89), the Danish Superliga (3.08) and LaLiga (3.01). Over 2.5 goals has landed in 62.0% of matches and both teams have scored in 59.4%.
That is close to 2025, when the matches in our data averaged 3.18 goals, with 61.5% over 2.5 and 57.1% both teams to score. High scoring is a steady feature of the league, not a one-season blip.
Our goals screener lists every upcoming match with both teams' recent record against each goal line.
Fewer draws than anywhere else in the series
Only 19.8% of matches have been drawn, the lowest of the four leagues. With high scoring and strong home sides, matches tend to produce a winner: home teams most often, away teams in three games out of ten.
What the numbers mean if you follow Eliteserien
- Home form carries real weight. A 50% home win rate is unusually high. A strong home side here deserves more credit than the same side would get in Allsvenskan.
- Goals are the norm. At 62.0% over 2.5, an under needs a specific reason, such as two strong defences or a weather-affected match late in the season.
- The draw is the outsider. At 19.8%, draws are rarer than in any other league in this series.
