This game was marked in the calendar a long time ago by fans of both squads, as it's the first Obos-Ligaen game of the season. Both KFUM and Sogndal are hoping for a good start to their campaign.
KFUM form and stats
The season before, KFUM's league statistics were 15 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, resulting in 4th place in the Obos-Ligaen. Over these 30 matches they scored {61 goals} and conceded 48. Appearing at their own stadium in the former season KFUM produced 7-5-3 (win-draw-lost) with {28 goals} and 22 conceded.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how KFUM have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 4 and lost 3.
It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for KFUM, who have participated in nine training matches. KFUM have won 5 of these, drawn 1 and were beaten in 3 games.
Sogndal form and stats
Let's have a look at how Sogndal performed last season in the Obos-Ligaen: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 7 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 55 and conceded {53 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 5 with 26/32 goals scored/conceded.
Sogndal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 6 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.
It's a day of discovery for Sogndal as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Sogndal have played nine with the results W3-D3-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Sogndal has scored {29 goals} and conceded 14 times.
