Åsane form and stats

3-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Åsane in their Obos-Ligaen matches away. Two points from the last two away games for Åsane, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Åsane played 3-3 against Ullensaker / Kisa in their previous match. Åsane's last match (vs Ullensaker / Kisa) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 85th minute equalizer by B. Haugsdal. As you can tell from the result, the match against Ullensaker / Kisa was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 1-1 draw at Start's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Åsane have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were zero victories, two draws and two defeats.

After this away game Åsane return home for a Obos-Ligaen game against KFUM. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Åsane have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. As for defending, Åsane rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 17 goals from these away matches.
