After the first game it's Haugesund - Stabæk 1-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second Eliteserien game of the season?

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Haugesund form and stats

Last season, Haugesund's league statistics were 11 wins, 6 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 9th position in the Eliteserien. Over these 30 matches they scored 39 goals and conceded 51. Playing at home last season Haugesund managed 6-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 26 conceded.

Haugesund shared the glory with Sarpsborg 08 in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The goalie Egil Selvik was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.63 out of ten. Selvik stopped the opponent with two saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Kristiansund and winning 3-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Haugesund have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost three.

The manager J. Grindhaug will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bodø / Glimt in only three days.
