Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 1.04 points a game from 23 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.08. That is 0.8 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls fair. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1289, a tougher schedule than the Eliteserien average.

For context, the next club above them in the Eliteserien is Vålerenga, rated 1264, and the next one below is Fredrikstad, rated 1232. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Bodø / Glimt, is 414 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very low quality of chances and very low squad age.

The Eliteserien itself is 22nd in our world league ranking, where its average club is 1.23 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 329th to 840th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
