The guesting Stabæk team are thought to be front runners at Grorud, as the away side own a 34 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Grorud have the fewest scored goals (24) in Obos-Ligaen
  • Stabæk have scored at least twice as many goals away as Grorud have scored home.

12 - 3 - 12 with 47-56. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Stabæk when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Stabæk play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

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.

Grorud form and stats

Grorud's struggle is real here at Grorud stadion with only 6 points collected from 11 Obos-Ligaen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-7.

The followers are hoping that Grorud will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-7 away loss in the game against Brann (placed 1st). As you see from the result above, Grorud suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Ranheim in a game that was won 2-1.

Lots of goals? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 14 of the 18 most recent league matches with this team has seen at least three goals.

At Grorud stadion, Grorud has the goal stats of 11-22 (for/against) from 11 league fixtures. When Grorud hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Åsane, Bryne, Fredrikstad, Stjørdals-Blink and Skeid), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
