Kristiansund are itching to add to their goals scored at their own stadium in this soon-to-be-played fixture vs Haugesund.

Insights:
  • Kristiansund have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Eliteserien
  • Haugesund have won significantly less corners away then at home.

This arena has artifical turf, which is not Haugesund's everyday surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Haugesund have performed like this: Played 27 matches taking 7 wins, 7 draws and 13 defeats with the goal production 34-47 (scored/conceded).

Kristiansund have less rest than Haugesund in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a NM Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Viking, so at least Kristiansund are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Kristiansund form and stats

Kristiansund have played 12 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Kristiansund hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Kristiansund, Jerv, Aalesund, Sandefjord and HamKam), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

The followers hope that Kristiansund will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the NM Cup fixture against Viking.

1-1 away at Odd before that.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kristiansund have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Both teams score at least one goal! That has happened in 7 league fixtures in a row for this team. Could it happen again?

Kristiansund have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kristiansund Stadion with 22 goals in 12 league matches. Kristiansund are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (27 from 12 played).

Haugesund form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Haugesund so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose).

Haugesund play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Sarpsborg 08 (placed 9th). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league fixtures winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sarpsborg 08 was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Defender Krygard was the best team player with a rating of 7.64. Krygard hit two key passes and won 5 of 6 duels.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Odd.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Haugesund playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 3 Haugesund wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

The visiting Haugesund have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 13 goals from 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Haugesund have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
