Flekkerøy form and stats

With {1 2. Division wins}, 6 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Flekkerøy are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Flekkerøy will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the 2. Division game against Levanger (placed 5th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Vard.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Flekkerøy have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Flekkerøy, as the 2. Division home game vs Rosenborg II is only one day away.

Flekkerøy has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Flekkerøy have conceded 14 in these home matches.

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