2. Division preview and statistics: Sotra - Senja at Straume stadion

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Senja when visiting Sotra as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.

Sotra form and stats

Sotra have collected 17 points from their 2. Division home games so far after 5-2-4. Sotra has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager T. Knarvik and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sotra, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Sotra crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Oppsal here at Straume stadion in a 2. Division match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Asker (0-2).

Sotra are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found one match and the win/draw/lost stats: W0-D0-L1.

Sotra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 attempts. Sotra have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Senja form and stats

Senja, who have the fewest scored goals (6) away in 2. Division, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the 2. Division, after 1-2-8 (11 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Senja who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Mjølner was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Senja have lost on their last two travels.

Two away games in a row for Senja, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-6 versus Odd II in the 2. Division. A loss against Åsane was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Senja played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 3 times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Senja as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Senja concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
