Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Fosshaugane Campus (5622 seats)

Closing in on the top clubs is the target when these two mid-table clubs do battle. Both are trying to strenghten their league status, Sogndal in 6th and Moss in 9th position.

Insights:
  • Sogndal haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.

7-4-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Moss when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 20 matches are 27-34 (scored/conceded).

There have been limited time to rest for the home team, as they were involved in a Obos-Ligaen fixture only three days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Kristiansund, was also a home game here at Fosshaugane Campus. The away team is better rested.

Sogndal form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sogndal have to build on here at Fosshaugane Campus in the Obos-Ligaen.

The Sogndal crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Kristiansund here at Fosshaugane Campus. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

In the game before, an away victory match versus Jerv with a 3-1 scoreline.

Take note that 9 of the most recent 12 league games from these players have seen goals scored by both teams.

The Sogndal fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 22 goals in 12 league matches. On the other hand, Sogndal have conceded 16 goals.

Moss form and stats

There's been little loot from Moss's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Moss only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 6 draws. Moss has drawn their two previous away games.

The Moss goalkeeper Mathias Eriksen Ranmark is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 294 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Moss had fun at their own home (Fosshaugane Campus) last time out, beating Hødd 3-0. Kubr, Pedersen and Håpnes scored.

A 0-0 draw at Start's stadium before that.

Moss have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. As for defending, Moss rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Sogndal have won every one of the 4 latest games against this side. Can they do it again?
