Competition: Norway 3. Division
Date: Sat 24.August
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)

Skjetten hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 13th position in the 3. Division table. Visiting Hønefoss holds 7th place with 27 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Skjetten nor Hønefoss as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Skjetten form and stats

Skjetten's results here at Skjetten Stadion in the 3. Division have been very modest with 2 victories, 0 draws and 7 defeats. Skjetten has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Skjetten, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Skjetten fans got no joy from their last match, a 3. Division game also here at Skjetten Stadion: A 1-3 defeat against Hønefoss. Preceding that match was a defeat to Fløya (0-1).

Skjetten are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Hønefoss form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their 3. Division travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Having won their last three away games Hønefoss has no reason to fear anyone.

Hønefoss play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Skjetten. A draw for Hønefoss before that, at their own venue hosting Finnsnes (2-2).

The Hønefoss manager has got the team scoring on the road, with 19 away goals in 9 league matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hønefoss have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
