Stabæk form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Stabæk have to build on here at Nadderud Stadion in the Eliteserien. Three consecutive losses here at Nadderud Stadion is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Sandberg stopped the opponent with eight saves. Marcus Sandberg had a busy but productive day in the Strømsgodset match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented. The penalty miss from Sammy Skytte in the defeat against Strømsgodset was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
