Strømmen form and stats

There's been little loot from Strømmen's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Strømmen only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Strømmen are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Strømmen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-5 versus Ranheim (placed 2nd). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Øygarden.

Strømmen lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Strømmen played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Jerv in just three days.
