Competition: Norway Obos-Ligaen
Competition: Sat 13.May
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Høddvoll Stadion (3120 seats)

Closing in on the top sides is at stake when these two mid-table sides fight it out. Both are trying to strenghten their league status, Hødd in 6th and Moss in 7th place.

Insights:
  • Hødd have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Moss have not yet lost a game away.

This field has artifical turf, which is not Moss's usual surface at their own football stadium. When appearing on artifical turf Moss have performed like this: Played 18 matches with the outcome 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats with the goal numbers 32-37 (scored/conceded).

Hødd and Moss should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Hødd form and stats

Hødd have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Obos-Ligaen. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The followers are hoping that Hødd will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the game against Start (placed 5th). The first defeat after collecting points in five league rounds. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that, Hødd drew at home versus Ranheim.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Moss form and stats

Things could have gone better for Moss in their Obos-Ligaen away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

Impressive finishing from Pedersen secured the home win 1-0 against Sandnes Ulf in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Myhre when Pedersen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.
