Kristiansund greet Stabæk with expectations of taking all three points. Will they? Read our preview!
- Kristiansund have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in Eliteserien
- Stabæk have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Stabæk 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 13-7-12 (win-draw-loss) from 32 matches.
Kristiansund form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Kristiansund Stadion as Kristiansund have scored 10 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Kristiansund has recorded two wins in a row here at Kristiansund Stadion, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Kristiansund faced defeat in their previous match, away at Viking (2-3). Attacking player Amin Askar bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.82 out of 10. Askar served one assist, hit three key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 61 total).
Before that match, a NM Cup win away at Tiller.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kristiansund's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
The Kristiansund fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. From these home matches, Kristiansund have conceded only 5 goals.
Stabæk form and stats
There's been little loot from Stabæk's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Eliteserien. Stabæk only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
The supporters enjoyed Stabæk's previous game versus Sarpsborg 08 (placed 12th), a Eliteserien 3-1 win played at home. The attacker Oliver Valaker Edvardsen got a match rating of 9.05 in that game. Edvardsen scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Prior to that result Stabæk won their away game at Ullensaker / Kisa in the NM Cup. The scoreline was 1-0.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 Stabæk playing away, we found seven games. Results were one away win, two draws and four home wins.
The visiting Stabæk have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 7 games. Stabæk have conceded 16 goals in these games.
