Balanced ball game between Jerv and Strømsgodset expected

This football stadium has grass, which is not Strømsgodset's normal surface at their own stadium. When appearing on grass Strømsgodset have performed like this: Played 16 matches with the outcome 1 win, 6 draws and 9 defeats with the goal production 13-29 (scored/conceded).

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Jerv form and stats

Disaster struck Jerv last season as they could not defend their status as a Obos-Ligaen team. With 13 defeats from 30 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Jerv are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W7 D4 L4.

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 Jerv have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won four, drawn six and lost two.

Jerv have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and eight practice matches played. These training games have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Some might be interested in the goal production stats for these matches; Jerv scored 13 goals and let in 19 goals during these eight games.

Strømsgodset form and stats

Let's have a look at how Strømsgodset performed last season in the Eliteserien: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 9 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 5 and lost 9 with 10/31 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Strømsgodset playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Strømsgodset win, four draws and one defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The NM Cup trip to Molde.
