Flekkerøy form and stats

With {0 2. Division wins}, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Flekkerøy are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home 2. Division games in a row without a win, the Flekkerøy fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sotra game long ago, can be stopped today.

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

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Arendal.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Flekkerøy have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won zero times, drawn two and lost zero.

The Flekkerøy fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Flekkerøy defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Notodden form and stats

The visitors are W3-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Division.

Notodden's last game was the home draw against Kjelsås (3-3). Drawing 3-3 against Kjelsås after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager M. Erga needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Kjelsås was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Odd II wasn't a success with a 1-6 loss.

Notodden are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Notodden has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 8 games. The Notodden manager M. Erga has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting ended Notodden - Flekkerøy 0-1, earlier this season. Flekkerøy-Notodden H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Flekkerøy three wins, Notodden five wins, two draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
