With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Odd fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Strømsgodset.

Insights:
  • Odd have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Strømsgodset have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Eliteserien match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Molde, was also a home game here at Skagerak Arena. The away team is better rested.

Odd are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Strømsgodset are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
