Grorud form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Obos-Ligaen this season. Grorud have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Grorud stadion. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Grorud stadion, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Sandnes Ulf game.

In their previous game, the manager J. Gjønnes Nilsen led his Grorud to a defeat in the Obos-Ligaen match away at KFUM. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Grorud stadion.

Preceding that match was a NM Cup defeat to Lillestrøm (after extra-time) (2-3).

The manager J. Gjønnes Nilsen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ullensaker / Kisa in only three days.

Grorud are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Grorud defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

There were no winners in Ranheim's previous match, a Obos-Ligaen home game that ended 2-2 vs Åsane (placed 9th). It looked so good for Ranheim vs Åsane, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

A draw for Ranheim before that, at their own venue hosting Aalesund (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) (1-1).

After this away game Ranheim return home for a Obos-Ligaen game against Strømmen. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
