Tromsø IL will host Aalesund on Monday in Eliteserien Matchday 10 at the Romssa Arena, aiming to bounce back from a heavy 5-0 loss to Bodø/Glimt. With seven wins from 11 matches, Tromsø are strong favourites, especially after winning seven of their last nine home games. Jens Hjertø-Dahl leads the club with five goals, while Ruben Jenssen has provided five assists. Tromsø have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far, winning seven of their 11 league matches and holding the joint-best defensive record in the division with six clean sheets. Aalesund, on the other hand, remain stuck in relegation trouble despite a surprise win over Brann. Kasper Lonebu is Aalesund's biggest attacking threat, having scored five league goals this season. The previous meeting between these sides ended in a narrow 1-0 win for Aalesund during a club friendly in March 2025. Tromsø have now won seven of their last nine home matches in all competitions and recently secured convincing victories against Molde and Sandefjord. Across their last six games, Tromsø recorded three wins, one draw, and two defeats. Much of Tromsø's success this season has been driven by the influence of Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Ruben Jenssen. Lars Larsen and Henrik Larsen continue to offer attacking movement in the final third, while goalkeeper Haugaard remains a commanding presence behind a disciplined back three. Aalesund travel into this contest with renewed confidence after back-to-back wins over Rosenborg and Brann. However, consistency remains a major concern, and they continue to struggle defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions.
