Only a few games have been played in the Eliteserien so far, with Stabæk placed 12th and Brann sitting in the 16th position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stabæk and Brann.
Stabæk form and stats
A Eliteserien draw at home so far for Stabæk. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from 15 matches.
Stabæk travelled for their previous game, a trip to Haugesund that ended 0-0. The goalie Marcus Sandberg was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.23 out of ten. Sandberg stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
In the match before that, Stabæk hosted Odd and drew the game 2-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Stabæk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stabæk as a small favourite), we find seven games. Stabæk has won four of these, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Stabæk as they are travelling to their away game against Rosenborg in the Eliteserien. That match is three days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Stabæk's 1 home game: 2 goals, 2 conceded.
Brann form and stats
No Eliteserien points yet away for Brann, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Brann who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Viking was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Brann might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bodø / Glimt proved too strong as Brann slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Brann Stadion. Midfield player Petter Strand was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.42/10. Strand hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rosenborg wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brann playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were four Brann wins, zero draws and two defeats.
After this away game Brann return home for a Eliteserien game against Strømsgodset. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Brann have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. Brann can't defend away. 10 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
