Kristiansund v Odd betting guide: Not much separates the two teams

Both sides have had sufficient rest since their previous exertion in an official match. Let's wish for an in-your-face fixture!

Kristiansund form and stats

0-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Kristiansund so far this season. It's trouble wherever Kristiansund are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Kristiansund faced defeat in their previous match, away at Viking (1-2). Willumsson, a natural forward, was the declared top performer for the side in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.35 (out of 10). Willumsson served one assist and hit one key pass.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Vålerenga.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kristiansund perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kristiansund as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Kristiansund has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

There will be little rest for Kristiansund after this match as they are travelling to Sandefjord for a Eliteserien game in only three days.

Odd form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eliteserien travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Odd's previous game was their home loss versus Lillestrøm (1-2). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Odd were so close to getting something from the game against Lillestrøm, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime. The attacker Wallem got a match rating of 7.9 in that game. Wallem served one assist, hit four key passes and had 54 successful passes (of 57 total).

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Strømsgodset that ended 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Odd playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 4 Odd wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Odd as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Odd as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Kristiansund four wins, three draws and Odd three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
