Egersund will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 3 points behind Asker.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Asker have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

There were no winners in Asker's previous match, a 2. Division home game that ended 2-2 vs Levanger (placed 8th). A 0-0 draw at Flekkerøy's stadium before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Asker playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Asker have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. Asker are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
