Bryne form and stats

3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Obos-Ligaen numbers at home for Bryne so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Bryne to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager J. Halvorsen led his Bryne to a defeat in the Obos-Ligaen match away at Fredrikstad. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bryne Stadion.

Before that game, the home loss against Sogndal with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bryne have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bryne as they are travelling to their away game against Hinna in the NM Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Bryne have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Bryne Stadion with 11 goals in 6 league matches. Bryne's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sandnes Ulf form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sandnes Ulf so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). Sandnes Ulf seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Sandnes's previous game was their home loss versus HamKam (1-2).

Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Ranheim's place.

Sandnes Ulf are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

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

Sandnes Ulf find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. The Sandnes manager S. Landro has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Bryne wins - draws - Sandnes Ulf wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
