KFUM form and stats

KFUM have collected 12 points from their Obos-Ligaen home games so far after 3-3-3. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on KFUM to get some points in this home game.

The fans are hoping that KFUM will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the Obos-Ligaen game against Stjørdals-Blink (placed 6th). Before that game, the home loss against Strømmen with the scoreline 1-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.
