The visiting Eidsvold side should be favourites in this visit to Florø, as the away team holds a 6 point advantage from their six league games this season.

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.

It should be mentioned that Eidsvold play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Eidsvold on grass are 3 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats from eight games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 13-20. You can compare this with overall results below.

Florø form and stats

Three 2. Division home games done for Florø, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. With Florø having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager F. Nybø.

Florø enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Moss's place. The match ended 1-0 with O. Tanimowo scoring. Preceding that match was the home game against Alta that was lost 1-2.

The victory against Moss came after O. Tanimowo's winning goal. The Florø manager F. Nybø was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 52nd minute.

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 Florø have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost one.

The Florø fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Florø's defense is seriously deficient as 10 goals have been conceded in these matches.
