They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Levanger defeat 90 days ago.

The spoils were shared in Egersund's previous game, also at home. Visiting Asker (placed 3rd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Flekkerøy with a 3-1 scoreline.

Sotra form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in 2. Division, on their 2. Division travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. With the Sotra losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for Sotra as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Rosenborg II match.

Two away games in a row for Sotra, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Bryne in the 2. Division. The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Vard.

Sotra find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sotra have conceded 17 goals in these games.
