Eliteserien Betting

Norway’s national side may have fallen on hard times since their 1998 heyday, when they beat Brazil to reach the last 16 of the World Cup, but their domestic league continues to entertain as it has done since its foundation in 1937. And if you’re looking to bet on Eliteserien football we’ll have Norway’s top flight covered here at BetVictor.

The mighty Rosenborg have resumed their domination of Norway’s top flight, meaning it’s hard to look past them in the Eliteserien odds, though a four-year drought between 2011 and 2014 proved that the Troillongan could be toppled. Back then, it was Stromsgodet and Molde (three times) who took advantage, while other sides who’ve upset the Eliteserien betting to win the title since 2000 include Valerenga, Brann and Stabaek.

Nonetheless Rosenborg are also Norway’s most successful side in European competition too, with their wealth of league titles ensuring that they’ve been given more than a fair crack at Champions League action in recent years, though their 1996-97 journey to the Champions League quarter-finals is yet to be matched.

The league formerly known as the Tippeliga runs from March until November in a bid to avoid the brutal freezing winter months in Scandinavia. And while the summer scheduling has been cited as one potential reason for Rosenborg’s inability to reflect their domestic dominance on the continent, it does at least ensure that there is Eliteserien betting during the months when most of the rest of Europe are enjoying their summer break.

Down two rungs below the Eliteserien sees the 28 teams in Norway's Division 2 – also known as 2. Divisjon – split into two groups of 14. The winner of each group earns promotion to the 16-team 1. Divisjon, while the two runners-up are invited to face each other in the promotion play-offs, before the victor plays against the 14th-placed team from 1. Divisjon.

It provides plenty of opportunity to get involved in Norway Division 2 betting during a time of year when few other European leagues are active.
