Strømsgodset hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 14th position in the Eliteserien table. Visiting Haugesund holds 9th place with 35 pts.

Insights:
  • Strømsgodset is in the worst form (0-1-5)

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eliteserien.

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Haugesund's home stadium. The visitors last 28 games on artifical turf have ended in 11 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses.

Relegation threatens Strømsgodset who should definitely be looking for some points here. Haugesund are struggling to avoid relegation.

Strømsgodset form and stats

When playing at home in the Eliteserien, Strømsgodset have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 13 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Strømsgodset who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Haugesund, 112 days ago. With seven home Eliteserien games in a row without a win, the Strømsgodset fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Brann game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Strømsgodset will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Eliteserien game against Kristiansund (placed 5th). Before that game, the home loss against Bodø / Glimt with the scoreline 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Strømsgodset perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Strømsgodset as a small favourite), we find five games. Strømsgodset has won two of these, drawn two and lost one.

The manager H. Pedersen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Aalesund in only three days.

Strømsgodset has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Strømsgodset have conceded 23 from these games.

Haugesund form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Eliteserien.

Haugesund delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Mjøndalen (placed 15th) in their previous match; a Eliteserien game. A 1-3 defeat away at Molde before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Haugesund playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Haugesund wins, four draws and three defeats.

After this away game Haugesund return home for a Eliteserien game against Bodø / Glimt. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Haugesund as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. As for defending, Haugesund rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.
