After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Odd and Haugesund in this fresh Eliteserien season. Read our match preview!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Odd and Haugesund.
Haugesund play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for Haugesund when playing on artifical turf are 13 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats from 27 matches. They have scored 49 goals and conceded 40 times in these games.
Odd form and stats
Three Eliteserien home games done for Odd, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
The Odd fans got no joy from their last match, a Eliteserien game also here at Skagerak Arena: A 0-4 defeat against Bodø / Glimt (placed 1st). In the game before, an away victory match versus Start with a 5-0 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Odd suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Odd's goalkeeper Sondre Rossbach was extremely busy against Bodø / Glimt, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Odd have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost zero.
A decent goal production from Odd in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Odd with 7 goals conceded in these matches.
Haugesund form and stats
Things could have gone better for Haugesund in their Eliteserien away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Haugesund have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Helge Valvatne Sandvik. It's been 197 minutes since they last conceded in Eliteserien.
Haugesund won their last game, 1-0 versus Start played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Sandefjord.
The end of the last match, against Start, was very satisfying as Jesper Daland scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Haugesund playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Haugesund win, two draws and two defeats.
Haugesund have the goal stats of 2-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
