KFUM form and stats

3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Obos-Ligaen numbers at home for KFUM so far this season.

KFUM are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Grorud. Before that, KFUM drew at home versus Kongsvinger.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from KFUM's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for KFUM as they are travelling to their away game against Ranheim in the Obos-Ligaen. That match is three days after this one.

KFUM have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at KFUM Arena with 10 goals in 6 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.

Stjørdals-Blink form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Obos-Ligaen travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

There were no winners in Stjørdals-Blink's previous match, a Obos-Ligaen home game that ended 2-2 vs Åsane (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ullensaker / Kisa wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Stjørdals-Blink playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Stjørdals-Blink are hosting HamKam in the Obos-Ligaen only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Stjørdals-Blink have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. Stjørdals-Blink have conceded 9 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

KFUM-Stjørdals-Blink H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: KFUM one win, Stjørdals-Blink zero wins, one draw. one of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
