Kristiansund form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Kristiansund Stadion as Kristiansund have scored 22 goals to get 28 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 9-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager C. Michelsen led his Kristiansund to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Mjøndalen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kristiansund Stadion. As you see from the result above, Kristiansund suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Amidou Diop got a match rating of 7.14 in that game, the max score being 10. Diop hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 52 successful passes (of 54 total).

Tromsø form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eliteserien travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Tromsø goalkeeper Jacob Karlstrom is eager to challenge this, with his 187 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Mjøndalen.

Tromsø are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, five draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

The visiting Tromsø have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 12 games. Tromsø's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
