The Tromsø & Brann bosses Helstrup and Horneland are both fearing and looking forward to this key fixture in the upper area of the Eliteserien table.
- Tromsø have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Eliteserien
- All of Brann's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
Tromsø's stadium, Alfheim Stadion, has a artifical turf surface. Brann have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Brann when playing on artifical turf; 17 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses from 32 matches. They have scored {91 goals} in these games and conceded 41.
It's quite the trip for Brann when visiting Tromsø as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Tromsø form and stats
3-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Tromsø so far this season.
