Sandnes Ulf form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Obos-Ligaen travels is 8 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

Sandnes's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Stabæk that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Stabæk after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Berntsen needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, the Sandnes Ulf manager Berntsen faced defeat when travelling to Kongsvinger and losing 1-3.
