Steinkjer form and stats

Steinkjer, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in 3. Division, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 3. Division, after 1-1-10 (12 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Steinkjer who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Raufoss II was the last time a defeat was avoided. A depressing seven defeats in a row for Steinkjer in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Verdal.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, a 3. Division match played at their home ground Huseby Idrettspark. Steinkjer suffered a 1-3 loss to Nybergsund (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 0-9 loss visiting Brumunddal's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Steinkjer as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Steinkjer concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own. The Steinkjer defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 36 goals in their away games.
