Åsane form and stats

Åsane's struggle is real here at Myrdal stadion with only 4 points collected from 7 Obos-Ligaen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-3. With seven home Obos-Ligaen games in a row without a win, the Åsane fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Åsane lost their last game at KFUM (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The first defeat after going undefeated through four league fixtures. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Fredriksen for missing a penalty kick versus KFUM in the 48th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Skeid that ended 0-0.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Åsane handle that role? We have found 10 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Some goal stats: A review of the 11 most recent league games highlights that 9 of them had at least one goal from each side.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Åsane as they are travelling to their away game against Kongsvinger in the Obos-Ligaen. That match is four days after this one.

The Åsane fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
