Sandnes Ulf form and stats

Sandnes Ulf's struggle is real here at Øster Hus Arena with only 5 points collected from 6 Obos-Ligaen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.

Happy days for Sandnes in their previous game, a NM Cup match away at Åkra (after extra-time) that ended with a 3-2 victory.

Before that match, a win away at Brodd.

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 Sandnes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.

Strømmen form and stats

There's been little loot from Strømmen's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Strømmen only have 0 wins to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Strømmen when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the HamKam match has the points been distributed unevenly.

Two away games in a row for Strømmen, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Kongsvinger in the NM Cup.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Lørenskog with the score of 2-1.

Strømmen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and four defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Goals are few and far between in Strømmen's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. Strømmen have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
