Åsane form and stats

Åsane have played three Obos-Ligaen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Åsane to get some points in this home game.

Åsane faced defeat in their previous match, away at Moss (0-1).

Preceding that match was the home game against Sogndal that was lost 2-3.

There will be little rest for Åsane after this match as they are travelling to Loddefjord for a NM Cup game in only three days.

The Åsane fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.

Start form and stats

The visitors are W1-D3-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Obos-Ligaen.

Start's last game was the home draw against Sandnes Ulf (3-3). Drawing 3-3 against Sandnes Ulf after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Tjelmeland needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Skeid at their stadium, the result 4-1.

Goals galore? This side have played 7 consecutive league fixtures all featuring three or more than three goals (over 2.5 goals).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The NM Cup trip to Flekkerøy.

5 goals have been conceded by Start in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Åsane won two games, one match ended with a draw and Start managed three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / two.
