Vard form and stats

Vard 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. Vard are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Haugesund Stadion, having lost their two previous games here.

A good away victory last time out for Vard, who won 3-1 against Bærum (placed 10th). Before that game, the home loss against Asker with the scoreline 0-2.

Vard are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Vard's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Bryne form and stats

Things could have gone better for Bryne in their 2. Division away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.

Bryne are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the 2. Division against Sotra (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Arendal that ended 1-1.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Bryne, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? J. Holtan certainly enjoyed Bryne's last game versus Sotra, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-2 victory.

Bryne are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Bryne have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
