Insights:
  • Odd II have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Nardo have yet to win a game away.

The visiting Nardo played their last game only four days ago, a NM Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Verdal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Odd II form and stats

Odd lost their last game at Øygarden (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Before that, Odd had a home game versus Sotra which ended with a victory 2-1.

Odd are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. From these home matches, Odd have conceded only 3 goals.

W W D D L

Nardo form and stats

Two travels in a row for Nardo, whose manager F. Eliassen could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Verdal. As mentioned above, Nardo was the only team on the pitch versus Verdal in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that, Nardo secured a home win against Rosenborg II with the score 3-2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nardo as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. There are big problems for the Nardo defense as they have conceded 13 goals in 4 away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Odd won one game, zero matches ended with a draw and Nardo has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / two
