Kongsvinger hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 15th position in the Obos-Ligaen table. Visiting Raufoss holds 8th place with 30 pts.

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 Raufoss.

Kongsvinger form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Obos-Ligaen this season. Kongsvinger, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Obos-Ligaen, have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Gjemselund Stadion.

Kongsvinger drew their last game, 1-1 away at Øygarden (placed 16th). Ahead of that match, Kongsvinger won a home game hosting Ranheim (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Kongsvinger perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kongsvinger as a small favourite), we find seven games. Kongsvinger has won four of these, drawn zero and lost three.

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

Kongsvinger have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kongsvinger defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Raufoss form and stats

There's been little loot from Raufoss's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Raufoss only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Raufoss are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The supporters enjoyed Raufoss's previous game versus Lillestrøm (placed 3rd), a Obos-Ligaen 2-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Raufoss manager C. Johnsen faced defeat when travelling to Strømmen and losing 2-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Raufoss playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Raufoss wins, one draw and two defeats.

A new game in only three days for Raufoss, the Obos-Ligaen home match versus Øygarden. Busy days.
