Bryne form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (31) in 2. Division, on their 2. Division travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Bryne are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the 2. Division against Levanger (placed 8th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Odd II at their stadium, the result 3-1.

Bryne can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Levanger. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 4-2 victory. R. Undheim scored the final goal. As you can tell from the result, the match against Levanger was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Bryne made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, J. Robson receiving a red card in the 66th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Bryne won the match 4-2!
