13th- against 8th spot might not seem all that steamy. But look: Here's the info that makes Tromsø - Haugesund (even) more engrossing!
- Tromsø have the fewest points (4) at home in Eliteserien
Tromsø and Haugesund should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It's quite the trip for Haugesund when visiting Tromsø as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.
Tromsø form and stats
Tromsø's struggle is real here at Alfheim Stadion with only 4 points collected from 9 Eliteserien games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-5. Tromsø are slowly digging their own grave here at Alfheim Stadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Ranheim match.
A strong away win for Tromsø against Lillestrøm the last match, as Niklas Vesterlund were on target. Eric Kitolano (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.24/10. Kitolano served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Brann.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tromsø have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost two.
Tromsø has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Tromsø have conceded 18 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Haugesund form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Haugesund so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-6 (win-draw-lose).
Home advantage was not enough for Haugesund in their previous game, as they lost their Eliteserien-match, hosting Odd, 1-3. The attacker Martin Samuelsen got a match rating of 7.85 in that game. Samuelsen scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kristiansund wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.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 13 relevant matches. Results were four Haugesund wins, five draws and four defeats.
Haugesund have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
