Haugesund form and stats

Haugesund have been outstanding at home so far in the Eliteserien with 5 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Haugesund has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Haugesund Stadion. We remember; it was Stabæk.

Haugesund travelled for their previous game, a trip to Stord (after extra-time, 7-6 on penalties) that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Haugesund in their match versus Stord (after extra-time, 7-6 on penalties) as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Sandefjord that finished 1-1.
