Skeid form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Skeid so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-9 (win-draw-lose).

Skeid delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Fredrikstad (placed 12th) in their previous fixture. As you can tell from the result, the match against Fredrikstad was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Skeid drew the match against Fredrikstad. Manager Holme brought on Kvia-Egeskog to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A 0-1 defeat away at Mjøndalen before that.
