Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Stord & Haugesund face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This football stadium has artifical turf, which is not Haugesund's regular surface at their own football field. When playing on artifical turf Haugesund have performed like this: Played 24 matches taking 7 wins, 6 draws and 11 defeats with the goal production 30-40 (scored/conceded).
The visiting Haugesund played their last game only three days ago, a Eliteserien match.
Stord form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the NM Cup for Stord, as the manager led his troops to eliminate Sandviken, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Stord's NM Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.A good away victory last time out for Stord, who won 4-0 against Bremnes. As mentioned above, Stord "killed" Bremnes in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Preceding that result, a home victory against Sandviken in the NM Cup.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Stord as they have a new game in only three days, a 3. Division - Group 3 match thankfully also at home. Loddefjord are visiting.
