Tromsø form and stats

Tromsø, who have the most conceded goals (52) in Eliteserien, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 3-1-9 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tromsø's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Tromsø are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the Eliteserien against Ranheim (placed 16th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Viking wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Tromsø, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Tromsø when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing 6 times, drawing 0 and winning 0 games.

Tromsø find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 13 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Tromsø are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 13 goals in these matches.
