Follo vs Eidsvold - 2. Division - Group 2

A fascinating 2. Division - Group 2 chapter awaits on September 19, 2026 when Follo take on Eidsvold at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Manchester United play in Gothenburg on Saturday as they take on Paris-Saint Germain in their fourth pre-season fixture.

In the 2. Division - Group 2 table, Follo currently occupy 12th and Eidsvold sit 1st, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. Follo are in the midst of a difficult spell, LWLDL in their last five summing up a win rate of 15.79%. Few sides travel as well as the visitors, with W in their last five and a win rate of 73.68% marking them out as a class apart. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Follo average 1.21 per game to Eidsvold's 2.47, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. It’s safe to say that Paige Bueckers is putting up elite all-around numbers in her second WNBA season for the Dallas Wings, averaging over 20 points and nearly six assists a night.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Follo favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Eidsvold are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. 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.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Ramos did eventually score the breakthrough goal midway through the second half but that was one of eight attempts at goal by the Portuguese forward - and there were no fewer than four big chances missed.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Despite the home advantage enjoyed by Follo, the weight of evidence favours Eidsvold — a 1-2 away win is the call. Whatever the outcome, the 2. Division - Group 2 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
