There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the 2. Division table so far. Here's the Bærum - Sotra latest:

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Sotra's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artificial turf have ended in 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

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

Playing away, Sotra have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats so far this season.

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.

Sotra are not goal shy away from home, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Sotra have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
