Tromsø II form and stats

Tromsø II must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three 3. Division games here at Alfheim Stadion.

A good away victory last time out for Tromsø, who won 4-1 against Melbo IL (placed 6th).

Before that, Tromsø played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Junkeren.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 3. Division game versus Nordstrand in only three days. This game is also played here at Alfheim Stadion.

Tromsø II are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Tromsø's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Finnsnes form and stats

It's not happening yet for Finnsnes on their 3. Division travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Finnsnes's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, a 3. Division match played at their home ground Finnsnes kunstgress. Finnsnes suffered a 1-5 loss to Lokomotiv Oslo (placed 8th). Finnsnes lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Ullern.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Junkeren in just four days.

Finnsnes find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. There are big problems for the Finnsnes defense as they have conceded 9 goals in 3 away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: one - two - three (Tromsø II wins - draws - Finnsnes wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
