Two away games in a row for Haugesund, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 4-5 versus Molde in the Eliteserien.

Velde served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total). A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Haugesund, as mentioned above. 9 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Strømsgodset.
