After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Haugesund and Kristiansund in this fresh Eliteserien season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Haugesund nor Kristiansund 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.
Kristiansund play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Kristiansund when playing on grass are 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 18 goals and conceded 19 times in these games.
Haugesund form and stats
Haugesund's first Eliteserien home game here at Haugesund Stadion ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from 15 matches.
Haugesund faced defeat in their previous match, away at Bodø / Glimt (1-6). Ahead of that match, Haugesund lost 1-2 at home to Brann.
Haugesund were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Haugesund have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost five.
There will be little rest for Haugesund after this match as they are travelling to Sandefjord for a Eliteserien game in only four days.
Haugesund has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Kristiansund form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Eliteserien away game of the season. During their previous season 15 away games resulted in 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats.
Kristiansund are travelling after their nice 7-2 home win in the Eliteserien against Aalesund (placed 16th). A 0-0 draw at Rosenborg's stadium before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Kristiansund was very dominant against Aalesund, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 7-2 (!) with Bendik Bye, Liridon Kalludra, Amin Askar, Amahl Pellegrino (3) and Sondre Sorlie providing the goals. Amahl Pellegrino certainly enjoyed Kristiansund's last game versus Aalesund, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 7-2 victory.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Kristiansund in our archives, and the results are: one win for Kristiansund, three draws and three defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kristiansund manager C. Michelsen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Mjøndalen.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Kristiansund has managed 0 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
