Kristiansund - Sandefjord: Eliteserien cellar dwellers desperate for points and triumph. Read all the interesting numbers and information before the game!
- Kristiansund have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Eliteserien
- Sandefjord have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Eliteserien
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sandefjord have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 13-2-12 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.
These are hectic days for the hosts, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eliteserien. This match was also played here at Kristiansund Stadion. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sandefjord have had more rest.
Kristiansund form and stats
Kristiansund's struggle is real here at Kristiansund Stadion with only 6 points collected from 9 Eliteserien games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-5.
Kristiansund's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Viking (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Finally, a league win after four fixtures without. The gifted forward Moumbagna outdid all the other players in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.45 out of 10. Moumbagna scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Lillestrøm that finished 1-1.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kristiansund matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from 4 games).
Betting people might want to know that 9 of the latest 12 league matches from these players have had at least one goal from each team.
Kristiansund are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Kristiansund have conceded 20 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Sandefjord form and stats
Playing away, Sandefjord have won 5 games, drawn 0 and suffered 5 defeats in the Eliteserien this season. When Sandefjord is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 3 matches. Jerv, Aalesund, Sandefjord, Sarpsborg 08 and Haugesund is teams we like to compare Kristiansund with. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Sandefjord are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Sandefjord played 2-2 against Strømsgodset in their previous match. Ofkir, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.25. Ofkir served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lillestrøm wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sandefjord playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 3 away wins, 0 draws and 3 home wins.
