Sotra form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (17) in 2. Division, are W3-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Division. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Sotra are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Recent form does not give Sotra much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Asker will be a tough nut to crack.

Sotra are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the 2. Division.

Home advantage was not enough for Sotra in their previous game, as they lost their 2. Division-match, hosting Arendal, 0-1. A 0-2 loss hosting Asker before that.

The travelling fans enjoy Sotra's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. The Sotra manager R. Blindhelm has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
