14th- against 6th place might not seem all that juicy. But: Here's the data that makes Haugesund - Tromsø (even) more entertaining!
- Haugesund have not yet lost a game at home.
- Tromsø have the fewest conceded goals (1) away in Eliteserien
This arena uses the playing surface grass, unlike Tromsø's home stadium. The former twelve games by the guests on grass have given 2 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses.
These teams have little in common geographically as Tromsø have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There have been limited time to rest for the home team, as they featured in a NM Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Staal Jørpeland, so at least Haugesund are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Haugesund form and stats
Haugesund have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Eliteserien. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Haugesund are returning here after visiting Staal Jørpeland in a NM Cup fixture and winning with a 2-1 scoreline.
Heartbreak before that as Haugesund lost 0-1 at Rosenborg's place.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 5 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Haugesund are traveling soon after this match as the NM Cup match at Stord awaits in three days.
The Haugesund fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.
Tromsø form and stats
The seven points Tromsø have gathered from their first three away trips in the Eliteserien is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
Two away games in a row for Tromsø, whose coach Helstrup could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against HIF / Stein.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Bodø / Glimt.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tromsø playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Tromsø wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Tromsø now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A NM Cup game at Tromsdalen is waiting in only three days.
Tromsø's manager Helstrup has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only {1 conceded goals}. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
