Sandnes Ulf form and stats

Sandnes Ulf have performed here this season with 6 wins from 9 Obos-Ligaen matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2.

K. Eriksen was the last player to score a league goal for Sandnes Ulf and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sandnes haven't scored in 309 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Sandnes will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Obos-Ligaen game against KFUM (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Raufoss that finished 0-0.

A decent goal production from Sandnes Ulf in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 9 league matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
