The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Alta matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

Tromsdalen form and stats

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tromsdalen playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.

The schedule is very tough for Tromsdalen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 2. Division game at Brattvåg is waiting in only two days.

Tromsdalen played one friendly in their break from official games, resulting in 0 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat. In these one match Tromsdalen scored 1 and conceded 2 goals.

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Tromsdalen as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 3 victories from 30 games, relegation was a fact. Tromsdalen's manager J. Hill are hoping to lead the team right back to Obos-Ligaen at the first attempt.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Alta three wins, four draws and Tromsdalen three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
