Bryne form and stats

The story so far in the Obos-Ligaen for Bryne at their home stadium (Bryne Stadion) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bryne, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A strong away win for Bryne against Hødd the last match, as Dybevik were on target. At last, a league victory after five games without.

Preceding that match was the home game against Åsane that was lost 1-2.

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 Bryne have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 5.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bryne at home in the league. 7 on target and 7 scored by the opposition; from 7 matches.
