Sotra form and stats

Sotra have played three 2. Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sotra to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager R. Blindhelm led his Sotra to a defeat in the 2. Division match away at Odd II. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Straume stadion.

Ahead of that match, Sotra lost 0-2 at home to Vard.

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

Sotra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Sotra are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).

Kjelsås form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kjelsås in their 2. Division matches away.

259 minutes! That's how long the Kjelsås goalkeeper William Da Rocha and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Kjelsås are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the 2. Division against Egersund (placed 4th).

Before that, Kjelsås travelled to Nardo and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kjelsås manager E. Kampen as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lokomotiv Oslo.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Kjelsås's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Kjelsås have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

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