This duo has had problems getting enough points so far, but a win and three points in this crucial match would certainly provide a boost. Let's hear it for Tromsø - Brann!
- Tromsø have the fewest points (3) at home in Eliteserien
- Brann have the most conceded goals in the second half (26) in Eliteserien
This looks to be an entertaining match with lots of spark and excitement as both participants are well renewed since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
It's quite the trip for Brann when visiting Tromsø as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Tromsø form and stats
Tromsø's results here at Alfheim Stadion in the Eliteserien have been very modest with 0 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. With eight home Eliteserien games in a row without a win, the Tromsø fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ranheim game long ago, can be stopped today.
The fans are hoping that Tromsø will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Eliteserien game against Rosenborg (placed 4th). Zdeněk Ondrášek, a striker, was the highest rated player for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 8.23 (out of 10). Ondrášek scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass. The defeat against Rosenborg was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by S. Vecchia).
Ahead of that match, Tromsø lost 2-3 at home to Bodø / Glimt.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 Tromsø have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost four.
The Tromsø fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Tromsø are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (17 from 8 played).
Brann form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brann so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose).
Brann play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Lillestrøm (placed 5th). The attacker Aune Selland Heggebø got a match rating of 7.85 in that game. Heggebø scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
A loss against Haugesund was the result prior to that, in a home game.Brann are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, four draws and six defeats. From a total of ten matches.
The schedule is very tough for Brann now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A NM Cup game at Harstad is waiting in only three days.
Brann find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Brann have conceded 21 goals in these games.
