Competition: Norway 2. Division
Date: Sun 19.May
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Grorud stadion (1500 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the 2. Division table has to be read with caution. So far Grorud find themselves in 8th position and Oppsal are placed 14th.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Oppsal form and stats

It's not happening yet for Oppsal on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Recent form does not give Oppsal much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Grorud will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Oppsal have lost on their last two travels.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Division home defeat versus Fram with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Oppsal manager G. Olsen faced defeat when travelling to Odd II and losing 2-3.

Oppsal has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Grorud, 0 draws and 1 win for Oppsal. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 0 games.
