Tromsø form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Tromsø have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Alfheim Stadion. Two home wins in a row for Tromsø bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Tromsø last time playing, versus Mjøndalen. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Eric Kitolano scoring for the victors. Midfielder Tomas Totland was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.8 (out of ten) in that game. Totland served one assist and hit two key passes.

Prior to that, an away loss at Molde.

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 nine games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost four.

There will be little rest for Tromsø after this match as they are travelling to Kristiansund for a Eliteserien game in only three days.

Tromsø has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Tromsø have conceded 18 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Odd form and stats

3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Odd playing as the away team in the Eliteserien this season.

Odd's last game was the home draw against Brann (3-3). As you can tell from the result, the match against Brann was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Sander Svendsen, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.85. Svendsen scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).

Before that, Odd travelled to Sandefjord and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Odd are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

A new game in only four days for Odd, the Eliteserien home match versus Mjøndalen. Busy days.

The visiting Odd have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 12 goals from 12 games. Odd struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 23 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
