Start form and stats

A Eliteserien draw at home so far for Start. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches. In general it's been a long time since Start tasted defeat here at Sparebanken Sør Arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

Start travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sandefjord that ended 2-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Strømsgodset.

Start were only inches away from victory, versus Sandefjord, as they hit the woodwork four times in the 2-2 draw.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Odd are coming to town in three days.

Start has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
