Brann and Strømsgodset have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Eliteserien.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This pitch has grass, which is not Strømsgodset's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Strømsgodset have performed like this: Played 15 matches resulting in 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats with the goal stats 16-27 (scored/conceded).
Brann form and stats
Brann have played 7 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Brann, their manager K. Ingebrigtsen and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
A strong away win for Brann against Stabæk the last match, as Daouda Karamoko Bamba and Robert Taylor were on target. Preceding that match was the home game against Mjøndalen that was lost 0-1.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Brann matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, four draws and two defeats (from seven games).
The Brann fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Brann have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Strømsgodset form and stats
There's been little loot from Strømsgodset's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Eliteserien. Strømsgodset only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.
Strømsgodset might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Viking proved too strong as Strømsgodset slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Marienlyst Stadion. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Haugesund.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Strømsgodset playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and two home wins.
Strømsgodset find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. For Strømsgodset, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
