Strømsgodset form and stats

Strømsgodset have performed here at Marienlyst Stadion this season with 6 wins from 9 Eliteserien matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.

Strømsgodset's previous game was a NM Cup match also played at home, ending 5-1 versus Stabæk (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Strømsgodset played a great game against Stabæk and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. What a game it was for J. Kadiri when beating Stabæk, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

Before that game, the home loss against Kristiansund with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Strømsgodset have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won seven times, drawn seven and lost one.

The manager H. Wibe-Lund will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Stabæk in only four days.

Goals decide football matches and Strømsgodset are scoring many of them at home; 20 on target from 9 league matches. Strømsgodset have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Two travels in a row for Sarpsborg, whose manager L. Bohinen could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Øygarden. As mentioned above, Sarpsborg 08 was the only team on the pitch versus Øygarden in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention K. Opseth's lethal finishing against Øygarden. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Rosenborg.
