KFUM form and stats

KFUM have played 6 Obos-Ligaen games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as KFUM has won their last four matches.

Nothing to worry about in defence for KFUM, as their goalkeeper Emil Gundelach Ødegaard has completely shut out the opponents for 271 minutes in the Obos-Ligaen.

It's back home for KFUM, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Skeid away with the result 4-0. Haltvik, Sa'Ad, Rasch and Godoy found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, KFUM "killed" Skeid in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Preceding that match, a home win against Åsane (after extra-time) in the NM Cup.

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

A decent goal production from KFUM in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches.
