Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kjelsås & Grorud face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 2. Division. Thankfully the previous game, versus Levanger, was also a home game here at Grefsen Stadion. The away team is better rested.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Kjelsås form and stats
Kjelsås have reached this NM Cup stage through battling and winning against Lokomotiv Oslo. Last season, Kjelsås's NM Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.The Kjelsås crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Levanger here at Grefsen Stadion in a 2. Division match.
In the game before, an away victory in the NM Cup match versus Lokomotiv Oslo with a 1-0 scoreline.Grorud form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Stovner in order to reach 2nd round of NM Cup. Grorud was sent out of NM Cup in the 3rd round last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Grorud so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). With the Grorud losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Two travels in a row for Grorud, whose manager A. Bergo could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Stovner. As you can tell from the result, the match against Stovner was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
A loss against Ullensaker / Kisa was the result prior to that, in a Obos-Ligaen home game.Grorud have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. Grorud's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Kjelsås, four draws and two wins for Grorud. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Kjelsås missing players
