Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Skagerak Arena (13500 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Odd are in the 6th position while the guesting Strømsgodset worry at 14th.

Insights:
  • Odd have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Strømsgodset is in the worst form (0-1-5)

The visiting Strømsgodset played their last game only three days ago, a Eliteserien match. That game was also an away game, at Kristiansund. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Strømsgodset are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Odd form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Skagerak Arena as Odd have scored 26 goals to get 26 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 8-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The Odd crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Start here at Skagerak Arena in a Eliteserien match. Heartbreak before that as Odd lost 0-2 at Vålerenga's place.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Odd's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won six matches, drawn one and lost one.

Odd can score goals in their home matches. After 13 league matches they have found the net 26 times. 15 goals have been conceded.

Strømsgodset form and stats

There's been little loot from Strømsgodset's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Eliteserien. Strømsgodset only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws. Strømsgodset are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Haugesund fixture. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Strømsgodset's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Strømsgodset lost away at Kristiansund (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Bodø / Glimt.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Strømsgodset playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, three draws and two home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Strømsgodset are hosting Haugesund in the Eliteserien only four days away.

The visiting Strømsgodset have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 13 games. The Strømsgodset manager H. Pedersen has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Strømsgodset - Odd 1-0, played this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Odd victories, two draws and three Strømsgodset wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
