There were no winners in Nardo's previous match, a 2. Division home game that ended 0-0 vs Kjelsås (placed 7th).

A 1-2 defeat away at Skeid before that.

A new game in only four days for Nardo, the 2. Division home match versus Rosenborg II. Busy days.

Goals are few and far between in Nardo's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. The Nardo defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 11 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
