Last season, their performance was similar, missing the playoffs by just one point. This season, they aim for better results and have had a decent start, with team morale being good.

Stabæk, another historic club, has also had average strength. They have spent many years in the Eliteserien and even won the title in 2008. Recently, they were relegated. In the season before last, they performed well, finishing as runners-up in the First Division and returning to the top league. Last season, as a newly promoted team, they started strong but declined mid-season. A coaching change did not improve their situation, and they were relegated again by a narrow margin. This season, they aim to be promoted again, but their start has been average, and team morale is not ideal.
