4th position in the Obos-Ligaen table for Bryne so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Sogndal visits Bryne Stadion.

Insights:
  • Bryne have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Sogndal have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sogndal have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
