League Prediction: 6th place


Odd (Last year: 4th in Tippeligaen)
+ Surprised last year with a 4th place, but the opponents will be more aware of the possible threat this year.
+ Manager Fagermo knows how to make the most out of the players he has got, even if this means playing dreadfully boring.
+ Arason is a solid goal keeper.
+ Good midfielders in Brenne, Bjørkøy and Samuelsen(from Viking), Lekven did also good last year.
+ Bentley is an exiting player, with good pace and technique
+ Has won 5 out of 7 matches in the pre-season

- Lacks a good defensive midfielder/deep lying playmaker. (Could Lekven do?)
- Many old players who have peaked several seasons ago, (like Fevang for instance)
- Needs to vary their tactics more, and not just play long balls forward to Kovacs.

Player to watch:
Fredrik Semb could be the next Odd profile if he gets the chance to play in the defence.
