Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Competition: Sun 28.June
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Marienlyst Stadion (8935 seats)

The Eliteserien league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Strømsgodset and Aalesund are placed 4th and 15th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither Strømsgodset nor Aalesund as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Strømsgodset form and stats

The hosts won their first Eliteserien game here at Marienlyst Stadion, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Strømsgodset last season were 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from 15 games.

A good away victory last time out for Strømsgodset, who won 3-2 against Sarpsborg 08 (placed 16th). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Odd.

Viljar Myhra loved the game against Sarpsborg 08. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 3-2 victory.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Strømsgodset matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and two defeats (from six games).

There will be little rest for Strømsgodset after this match as they are travelling to Stabæk for a Eliteserien game in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Strømsgodset at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Aalesund form and stats

Aalesund have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Eliteserien were 10 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat from 15 fixtures.

There were no winners in Aalesund's previous match, a Eliteserien home game that ended 2-2 vs Brann (placed 3rd). A 2-7 defeat away at Kristiansund before that.

The draw against Brann came from a losing position. The Aalesund manager L. Bohinen brought on Hólmbert Aron Friðjónsson as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Aalesund playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Aalesund are hosting Mjøndalen in the Eliteserien only three days away.

Aalesund have the goal stats of 2-7 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Strømsgodset-Aalesund H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Strømsgodset five wins, Aalesund four wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
