Express form and stats

All-inclusive 3. Division results at home this season for Express are 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Express in their previous game, a 3. Division match away at Donn (placed 14th) that ended with a 4-1 victory.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Viking II that ended 2-2.

The Express fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.

Åkra form and stats

Åkra are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 3. Division, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Åkra, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Vindbjart (placed 1st).

Prior to that match, a home win 4-2 against Madla.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Åkra as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Åkra as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
