The visiting Tromsø side should be odds-on favourites at Aalesund, as the away team enjoy a 13 point advantage from their nine league games this season.
- Aalesund have the fewest scored goals (5) in Eliteserien
- Tromsø have the fewest conceded goals (2) away in Eliteserien
These teams have little in common geographically as Tromsø have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Aalesund and Tromsø.
Aalesund form and stats
Aalesund have played 5 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The home supporters witnessed a 3-3 draw versus Brann in the NM Cup last time out and are hoping for a victory here.
Ahead of that match, Aalesund lost 1-3 at home to Brann.This is expected to be a close game, with Aalesund perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aalesund as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Aalesund has won 2 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.
Aalesund aren't scoring a lot here at Color Line Stadion in the league, with only {4 goals} from 5 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded. When Aalesund hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Odd, Sandefjord, Haugesund, HamKam and Strømsgodset), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.
Tromsø form and stats
Playing away, Tromsø, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) away in Eliteserien, have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 0 defeats in the Eliteserien this season. Tromsø have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Two trips in a row for Tromsø, whose boss Helstrup could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Alta.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Sarpsborg 08.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tromsø playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 3 Tromsø wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tromsø have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (Aalesund wins - draws - Tromsø wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
