The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Haugesund are in the 9th position while the guesting Aalesund worry at 16th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Eliteserien match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Viking, so at least Haugesund are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
5-3-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Aalesund when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those twelve matches are 16-12 (scored/conceded).
Haugesund form and stats
Overall Eliteserien stats at home this season for Haugesund are 5-2-4 (wins-draw-losses).
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Helge Valvatne Sandvik not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.
Happy days for Haugesund in their previous game, a Eliteserien match away at Viking (placed 7th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sarpsborg 08 in a game that was won 2-0.
The Haugesund fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 11 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Aalesund form and stats
There's been little loot from Aalesund's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 10 away games in the Eliteserien. Aalesund, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Eliteserien, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. Aalesund are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Start fixture.
The attacking players of Aalesund have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 242 minutes.
The manager L. Nilsen was unhappy after their last game, a Eliteserien match played at their home ground Color Line Stadion. Aalesund suffered a 0-3 loss to Odd (placed 5th). Prior to that match, the Aalesund manager L. Nilsen faced defeat when travelling to Stabæk and losing 0-4.
