  • Stabæk have the most conceded goals (59) in Eliteserien

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

12-6-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Stabæk when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 34 matches are 54-70 (scored/conceded).

Odd is in the 13th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Stabæk are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Odd are slowly digging their own grave here at Skagerak Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Haugesund match.

In their previous game, the manager J. Nornes led his Odd to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Viking. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Skagerak Arena. The versatile forward Tobias Lauritsen outshone all teammates in that match and received a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Lauritsen hit two key passes.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stabæk so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-8 (win-draw-lose).

Stabæk might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rosenborg proved too strong as Stabæk slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Nadderud Stadion. Attacker Fitim Azemi got a player rating of 7.44 in the game. "Man of the match" Azemi scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Tromsø.

We have checked recent matches where Stabæk have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were three victories, four draws and three defeats.
