Raufoss form and stats

No payout for Raufoss in their previous match, an away game at Tromsø that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Skeid (4-5).

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 Raufoss have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost three.

Last season, Raufoss's league statistics were 12 wins, 2 draws and 16 losses, resulting in a 11th position in the Obos-Ligaen. Over these 30 matches they scored 47 goals and conceded 59. Playing at home last season Raufoss managed 7-2-6 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 31 conceded.

Stjørdals-Blink form and stats

The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Fredrikstad game have they lost an away game, meaning Stjørdals-Blink has taken points from ten away matches in a row.

The manager R. Vikvang was unhappy after their last game, a Obos-Ligaen match played at their home ground Nye Blinkbanen. Stjørdals-Blink suffered a 2-3 loss to Ranheim (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Sola in the 2. Division.

We have checked recent matches where Stjørdals-Blink have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, one draw and zero defeats.

Let's have a look at how Stjørdals-Blink performed last season in the 2. Division: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats. In total they scored 69 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 1 with 31/12 goals scored/conceded.
