2. Division: Top level against subpar, at least according to the table. Egersund - Rosenborg II. Home win as expected or a surprise result?

Insights:
  • Egersund have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • Rosenborg II have the most conceded goals (21) in 2. Division

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

2-2-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Rosenborg II when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 12-16 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Rosenborg II when visiting Egersund as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Rosenborg II form and stats

As the visiting team in 2. Division matches, Rosenborg II, who have the most conceded goals (21) in 2. Division, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. With the Rosenborg losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The manager A. Røen was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Division match played at their home ground SalMar Banen Kunstgress. Rosenborg II suffered a 0-2 loss to Sotra (placed 11th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nardo wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Rosenborg have conceded 8 goals in these games.
