Kjelsås form and stats

Kjelsås have only collected 5 points from their away games in the 2. Division, after 1-2-4 (7 played).

Kjelsås has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Notodden for a 2. Division game that ended a draw (3-3). Kjelsås's last match (vs Notodden) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by M. Sinyan. An insane game with masses of goals last time out for Kjelsås, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this fixture be as much fun?

A draw for Kjelsås before that, at their own venue hosting Fram (1-1).

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

Kjelsås have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Kjelsås have conceded 14 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the contenders met earlier this season; Kjelsås - Arendal 2-2. Last three meetings involving these squads: Arendal won one, Kjelsås triumphed in one and we saw one draw. two games with more than 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
