Another interesting game in the 2. Division. Vard is in the 1st position after playing two matches. They welcome Arendal who are placed 3rd after two games.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Arendal have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Vard form and stats
Vard have only played one 2. Division game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from 10 matches.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Thomas Kinn not having conceded a league goal in 226 minutes.
It's back home for Vard, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Fram away with the result 4-0. D. Horneland and E. Myklebust found the net in that victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Vard played a great game against Fram and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Before that, Vard had a home game versus Kjelsås which ended with a victory 1-0.There will be little rest for Vard after this match as they are travelling to Nardo for a 2. Division game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Vard at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Arendal form and stats
Only one away game in the 2. Division so far for Arendal and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 2 draws and 4 losses from 10 travels.
Arendal had fun at their own home (Haugesund Stadion) last time out, beating Øygarden 3-1. T. Hafstad scored.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Skeid with the score of 2-1.It's early days yet, but Arendal has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
