Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hønefoss & Strømsgodset face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Strømsgodset played their last game only four days ago, a Eliteserien match.
Hønefoss form and stats
Hønefoss was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the NM Cup.The Hønefoss fans aren't used to losing league-games here at AKA Arena and will expect new points from this game. Hønefoss has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
Happy days for Hønefoss in their previous game, a 3. Division match away at Ullensaker / Kisa II that ended with a 2-1 victory.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Ullensaker / Kisa II and winning 2-1.Strømsgodset form and stats
Strømsgodset's mission in NM Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Strømsgodset so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
Herman Stengel, Jack Ipalibo and Tobias Fjeld Gulliksen scored in Strømsgodset's previous match, the home game against Odd that ended 3-0. Lars Christopher Vilsvik, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.54. Vilsvik hit four key passes and won 3 of 4 duels.
Before that, Strømsgodset secured a home win against Stabæk with the score 2-1.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Strømsgodset manager H. Wibe-Lund as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Haugesund.
The attacking power of Strømsgodset when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Strømsgodset are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.
