With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Kristiansund fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Strømsgodset.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Kristiansund are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Strømsgodset are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Kristiansund form and stats

Kristiansund's goalkeeper Sean McDermott was extremely busy against Bodø / Glimt, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 6 saves.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kristiansund perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Strømsgodset form and stats

As mentioned above, Strømsgodset was the only team on the pitch versus Brann in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.
