Soccer match preview: Home crowd has high hopes when Kjelsås welcomes Senja

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 Kjelsås and Senja.

Senja have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Kjelsås form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Grefsen Stadion as Kjelsås have scored 17 goals to get 18 points from 8 games. The overall stats are 5-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Kjelsås has won their last four matches. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Grefsen Stadion.

Kjelsås's last game was hosting Senja and winning 4-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus Florø with a 2-1 scoreline.

Goals decide football matches and Kjelsås are scoring many of them at home; 17 on target from 8 matches. From these home matches, Kjelsås have conceded only 6 goals.

Senja form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Senja, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in 2. Division, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-6 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Senja, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Odd II game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Senja as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Florø.

Senja play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Kjelsås. A 0-2 loss hosting Grorud before that.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Senja as the away team, we found two results. Statistics from these were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. The outsiders lost 1 of these games by at least two goals.

Senja are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. Senja are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.
