Fløya form and stats

Fløya's struggle is real here at Fløyabanen with only 3 points collected from 7 2. Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-4. With seven home 2. Division games in a row without a win, the Fløya fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Eidsvold game long ago, can be stopped today.

A strong away win for Fløya against Bærum the last match, as M. Bakkeby and S. Fitzgerald were on target.

Ahead of that match, Fløya lost 2-4 at home to Alta.

The manager G. Olsen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Asker in only three days.

Fløya are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Fløya having conceded 19 goals here at Fløyabanen so far.
