Odd form and stats

Odd have collected 16 points from their Eliteserien home games so far after 4-4-4. Odd have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Odd, who played 2-2 against Mjøndalen. That match was also played at this venue (Skagerak Arena). A disappointing finish for Odd in their match versus Mjøndalen as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. Midfield player Marcus Andre Kaasa got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Kaasa scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 28 successful passes (of 31 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Tromsø.

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 ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost two.

Goals decide football matches and Odd are scoring many of them at home; 24 on target from 12 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Odd defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Kristiansund form and stats

There's been little loot from Kristiansund's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Eliteserien. Kristiansund only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.

Kristiansund played 1-1 against Tromsø in their previous match. Torgil Owre Gjertsen, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.41. Gjertsen served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-5 loss visiting Mjøndalen's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kristiansund playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Kristiansund wins, five draws and two defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kristiansund as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. As for defending, Kristiansund rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.
