It's still early in the Obos-Ligaen season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Grorud - Jerv preview!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Jerv's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Jerv have performed like this: Played 27 matches resulting in 3 wins, 8 draws and 16 defeats with the goal stats 25-58 (scored/conceded).

Grorud form and stats

Only two Obos-Ligaen home games for Grorud so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

It's back home for Grorud, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Kongsvinger away with the result 1-0. O. Aga found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Sogndal.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grorud perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grorud as a small favourite), we find two games. Grorud has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.

The manager E. Kjönö will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Øygarden in only four days.

At Grorud stadion, Grorud has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Jerv form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Obos-Ligaen for Jerv with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Jerv are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Obos-Ligaen against HamKam (placed 16th). A 2-2 draw at Ullensaker / Kisa's stadium before that.

What a finish in the last match, as Jerv came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through M. Baidoo's goal in the 90th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager A. Sandstø when M. Baidoo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. The end of the last match, against HamKam, was very satisfying as M. Baidoo scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jerv playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Jerv win, one draw and three defeats.

A new game in only four days for Jerv, the Obos-Ligaen home match versus Lillestrøm. Busy days.

Jerv have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
