An important duel in the bottom section of the Obos-Ligaen, with both Jerv and Grorud experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 14th place.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Obos-Ligaen. That game, against Sogndal, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Grorud.

This pitch has grass, which is not Grorud's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Grorud have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats with the goal stats 9-6 (scored/conceded).

Grorud are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Jerv form and stats

When playing at home in the Obos-Ligaen, Jerv have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Jerv with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Øygarden game, 32 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Stress levels are on the rise for Jerv's attacking players as they have now played 476 minutes without scoring in a league game. I. bin Fandi Ahmad was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Jerv in their previous match, an away game at Lillestrøm that ended in defeat 0-1. Heartbreak before that as Jerv lost 0-1 at Tromsø's place.

There will be little rest for Jerv after this match as they are travelling to Sandnes Ulf for a Obos-Ligaen game in only three days.

Jerv have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at J.J. Ugland Stadion - Levermyr with 21 goals in 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.

Grorud form and stats

There's been little loot from Grorud's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Grorud only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws.

There might be some fixture complaints from Grorud as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Obos-Ligaen match against Sogndal (1-2). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Strømmen.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kongsvinger in just three days.

The visiting Grorud have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 13 games. The Grorud manager E. Kjönö has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Jerv and Grorud have met before this season: Grorud - Jerv 0-3.
