Start form and stats

Two Eliteserien home games so far for Start, who are yet to win here at Sparebanken Sør Arena. Only 1 point so far.

Start's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Molde (placed 2nd). A 2-2 draw away before that, with Sandefjord the opponent.

Heartbreak for Start in their last match as Molde's S. Gregersen scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Start have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost two.

Start are traveling soon after this match as the Eliteserien match at Haugesund awaits in four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Start's 2 home games: 4 goals, 5 conceded.

Odd are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the Eliteserien against Vålerenga (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Strømsgodset's place.

It's hard not to mention Torgeir Børven's lethal finishing against Vålerenga. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Odd in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Odd, one draw and seven defeats.
