Eidsvold vs Follo - 2. Division - Group 2

The history between Eidsvold and Follo lends this 2. Division - Group 2 fixture an extra layer of spice, and when the two walk out at the home ground on May 9, 2026, recent encounters will be on everyone's mind. The 18‑year‑old midfielder featured off the bench in the Foxes’ Carabao Cup first‑round tie last weekend, but could still depart before the window closes.

There is plenty riding on this 2. Division - Group 2 encounter for Eidsvold and Follo alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. When a side is winning 75% of their matches and posting WLWWL in their last five, as Eidsvold have, the conversation shifts from form to silverware. The visitors have been enduring a wretched campaign, LLWLW in their last five and a season win rate of just 15% that leaves them deep in trouble. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Carrick has experimented with Noussair Mazraoui in that position but he seems to have fallen down the pecking order, as the less experienced Patrick Dorgu was preferred for the Manchester derby loss.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Eidsvold favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Follo are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Everton are aware of interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, but there has been no formal approach or contact with them, and they have no appetite to sell the 26-year-old, who has three years on his deal.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. But United aren't budging—they still consider the Slovenian striker central to Michael Carrick's long-term project at Old Trafford.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. Whatever the outcome, the 2. Division - Group 2 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs.
