Bærum form and stats

When playing at home, Bærum have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games.

The points were shared in Bærum's previous game, also at home. Visiting Sotra travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Bærum won a home game hosting Vålerenga (5-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Bærum perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bærum as a small favourite), we find one game. Bærum has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The Bærum fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Bærum with 12 goals conceded in these matches.

Sotra form and stats

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sotra playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 2 Sotra wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.
