Both the home- and away side have had problems getting enough points so far, but three points in this vital match would definitely help. Get ready for Kongsvinger - Bryne!

Insights:
  • Kongsvinger have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Bryne have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Bryne have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 8-6-9 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kongsvinger and Bryne.
