Norway NM cup - Haugesund vs Nybergsund Football betting preview

It's time for the quarterfinals in the Norwegian Cup this weekend. The first bet that catched my eyes was Nybergsund win over Haugesund.

Haugesund are a mid-table team in Adeccoligaen. This year they are 6-6-6 27-29 and have 3 ties in row now. The 2 last games have ended 0-0 against poor teams as Hønefoss and Sparta. Today they will meet a Nybergsund team that 99% for sure will be promoted to Adeccoligaen next year. They are impressive 13-1-1 46-11 so far in the league, the only loss was to Ull-Kisa 1-2 at home, which most likely was an effect of the 2-1 win over Tippeliga team Vålerenga in the last Cup round.

During the cup, Haugesund have won 1-6 against Djerv in their first match, while they had to go to extra time to beat Flekkerøy 0-1 in the next game. Then they matched up with Adeccoliga team Løv Ham which they crushed 4-0. The last game won the against Tippeliga team Start 1-2 in Kristiansand, chich was a very good result.

Nybergsund started with a 2-5 victory against Fjellhamar (where I played 10 years in my childhood) before they won 4-1 against 2.division team Strindheim in the next round. Strindheim is by the way also fighting for a promotion this year. Then they traveled to Tippeliga team Fredrikstad where the bookies gave them 5-10% chance of winning. Well, they won 1-2 and was ready for the next round where Vålerenga was beaten 3-1 at home.

For this game Nybergsund have midfielder Storbæk our because of suspension, while one of their best players this year midfielder Buer Johansen will play. He was supposed to be suspended, but there had been a misunderstanding in an earlier cup game about a yellow card, who got awarded Buer Johansen by a mistake. Other than that, it's not reported any injuries in Nybergsund.

Haugesund also have all their players to choose from, but midfielder Andreassen got a little injurie on wednesdays training, but is expected to train again today and play tomorrow. Haugesund have gotten a new midfielder in Ørsal, who played last game against Hønefoss. This sent Moen, that scored the 1-2 goal against Start in last cup game, on the bench and he wasn't happy.

Nybergsund have been the big surprise this year in the cup and I will give them a fair chance of winning against Haugesund. Even though Nybergsund is a 2.division team, they are much capable of handling a mid table Adeccoliga team as Haugesund.

I would set the % as about 50 - 25 - 25, and find nice value in Nybergsund @ Betsafe for odds 4.65. I'll play it with 4/10

Good luck this weekend.
