1st position in the 2. Division table for Grorud so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 5th-placed Sotra visits Grorud stadion.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Grorud and Sotra.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Sotra's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artificial turf have ended in 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

Sotra form and stats

Playing away, Sotra have won 3 games, drawn 4 and suffered 3 defeats in the 2. Division this season.

Sotra are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Grorud (placed 1st). Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Alta.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

Sotra are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 10 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Sotra have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
