Odd form and stats

There's been little loot from Odd's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Eliteserien. Odd only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Odd are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

T. Lauritsen was the last player to score for the away team. Odd haven't scored a league goal in the last 200 minutes.

Odd failed to get anything from their last game, a Eliteserien home match vs Strømsgodset (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 0-1.
