Jerv form and stats

Jerv have collected 21 points from their Obos-Ligaen home games so far after 6-3-2. After failing to beat Sogndal here at J.J. Ugland Stadion - Levermyr, Jerv has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

In their previous game, the manager A. Sandstø led his Jerv to a defeat in the Obos-Ligaen match away at Sogndal. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at J.J. Ugland Stadion - Levermyr. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Øygarden in a game that was won 4-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Jerv have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost one.

The manager A. Sandstø will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ranheim in only three days.

A decent goal production from Jerv in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 11 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Jerv defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

KFUM form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for KFUM so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-5 (win-draw-lose). KFUM has drawn their two previous away games.

KFUM won their last game, 3-0 versus Ullensaker / Kisa played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Åsane that ended 1-1.

It was a convincing performance from KFUM when Ullensaker / Kisa were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. C. Lindquist, B. Njie and D. Tavakoli scored their goals.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with KFUM playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three KFUM wins, four draws and two defeats.

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

KFUM have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. As for defending, KFUM rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 21 goals from these away matches.
