With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second 2. Division game of the season. Sotra look forward to welcoming Levanger in front of their home support.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sotra form and stats

Last season, Sotra's league statistics were 6 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the 2. Division. Over these 18 matches they scored 21 goals and conceded 34. Playing at home last season Sotra managed 3-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 10 conceded.

Sotra shared the glory with Flekkerøy in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bryne (0-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sotra have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost zero.

Sotra are traveling soon after this match as the 2. Division match at Egersund awaits in three days.

Levanger form and stats

Let's have a look at how Levanger performed last season in the 2. Division: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 20 and conceded 18 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 3 with 11/12 goals scored/conceded.

Home advantage was not enough for Levanger in their previous game, as they lost their 2. Division-match, hosting Notodden, 2-4. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Levanger, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vard wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Levanger in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Levanger, one draw and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Levanger are hosting Nardo in the 2. Division only three days away.
