Summary

Gustav Højbjerg has already shown a defensive intensity that surpasses the typical benchmark for his position in the Eliteserien. In just three appearances totalling 59 minutes, he has recorded one tackle and one interception, giving him a per-90 rate of 1.53 tackles, slightly below the baseline of 1.72 but still indicative of active involvement. His contribution to the attacking phase remains modest, with no goals, assists, shots, shots on target, or key passes recorded, which is expected given the limited time on the pitch. Højbjerg’s average match rating of 6.8 reflects a solid, if not standout, performance in the early part of the season. As the campaign progresses, his defensive work off the ball will continue to be a focal point of his contribution to the team.

Gustav Højbjerg has played 59 minutes across 3 appearances in Eliteserien, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.06 and averaging 6.80 a match.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 31 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
