Tromsø and Odd have both delivered a "par" performance so far this season, to use a golf term. The teams both occupy mid-table places in the Eliteserien.

Insights:
  • Tromsø have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Odd have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both squads have had ample time to rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's wish for an animated game!
