Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Strindheim & Kristiansund face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Strindheim and Kristiansund.
Strindheim form and stats
Action has already taken place for Strindheim in NM Cup as they have defeated Melhus to reach the 2nd Round. Strindheim was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the NM Cup.Strindheim's last game was hosting Orkla and winning 6-0. As mentioned above, Strindheim "killed" Orkla in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
In the preceding match a 4-0 victory visiting Rosenborg II.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Strindheim as they are travelling to their away game against Rana in the 3. Division - Group 5. That match is three days after this one.
Kristiansund form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Surnadal in order to reach 2nd round of NM Cup. Kristiansund's mission in NM Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.Playing away, Kristiansund have won 0 games, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the Eliteserien this season.
Kristiansund might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bodø / Glimt proved too strong as Kristiansund slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kristiansund Stadion. Kristiansund goalie Mbaye had a fine shift against Bodø / Glimt, but even with registering seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Strømsgodset.Kristiansund have another fixture away in just three sleeps, a Eliteserien match vs Rosenborg. A back-breaking timetable for the visitors!
Kristiansund are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. Kristiansund's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's one Strindheim victory, three draws and four Kristiansund wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
