Insights:

Jerv form and stats

The visitors are W3-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Obos-Ligaen. Momentum is building for Jerv in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Jerv played 3-3 against Ullensaker / Kisa in their previous match. It looked so good for Jerv vs Ullensaker / Kisa, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-1 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Jerv, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Preceding that game was the away victory against Åsane with the score of 1-0.

The schedule is very tough for Jerv now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Obos-Ligaen game at Ranheim is waiting in only four days.

Jerv find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, Jerv rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
