Odd Ballklubb recorded an impressive 4–1 home victory over Åsane at Skagerak Arena on 2 August, their biggest home win in recent weeks. The result leaves Odd fifth in the 1. Division table with 28 points after 16 rounds, with their next home fixture — against Kongsvinger — arriving on 26 August.
Odd Put On a Show in Skien
Odd returned to Skagerak Arena for their first home fixture since early July and made it count, running out convincing 4–1 winners against Åsane in round 16 of the 1. Division on 2 August 2026. The result keeps Odd firmly in the promotion picture as the league heads into its second half.
The margin of victory was comfortable, and the performance underlined why Skagerak Arena has been something of a fortress for the Skien side throughout the 2026 campaign.
Where Odd Stand in the Table
With the win, Odd now sit fifth in the 1. Division standings with 28 points from 16 matches — a record that reads eight wins, four draws and four defeats, and a goal difference of +11.
After back-to-back away trips to Moss (10 August) and Lyn at Bislett (15 August), Odd return to Skagerak Arena on 26 August for what promises to be a crucial home clash against Kongsvinger, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00.
Next Up at Skagerak Arena
Fans planning to attend the Kongsvinger fixture can already secure tickets through the club's official channels. The match is listed as a 19:00 evening kick-off — a rare treat for supporters who have mostly seen afternoon starts at the stadium this season.
With five home games still to come at Skagerak Arena before the season closes in November, there is plenty to look forward to for the faithful in Skien as the promotion race intensifies.
