Start form and stats

In the previous season, Start's league statistics were 10 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, providing 9th position in the Obos-Ligaen. During these 30 matches they scored 59 goals and gave away 59. Playing as the home team in the last season Start managed 5-4-6 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 32 conceded.

A good away victory last time out for Start, who won 5-1 against Åsane (placed 15th).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
