Skeid form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Obos-Ligaen this season. Skeid have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Nordre Åsen kunstgress. Skeid has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Holme and the players.

In their previous game, the manager Holme led his Skeid to a defeat away at Åsane. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Nordre Åsen kunstgress. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Åsane) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. The defeat against Åsane was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Nygard).

Before that game, the home loss against Bryne with the scoreline 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Skeid have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 0, drawn 2 and lost 7.

Scoring bonanza? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 10 of the 13 latest league matches with this club has seen three goals or more.

A decent goal production from Skeid in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 8 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Skeid with 17 goals conceded in these matches.

Raufoss form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Obos-Ligaen. Raufoss love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

The manager Johnsen was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground NAMMO stadion. Raufoss suffered a 0-5 loss to Brann (placed 1st). Until that defeat this club had gained at least one point from six league games in a row. Raufoss lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

Prior to that result Raufoss won their away game at Stjørdals-Blink. The scoreline was 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 11 similar matches played by Raufoss in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Raufoss, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Raufoss now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Obos-Ligaen game at Fredrikstad is waiting in only three days.

Raufoss are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Raufoss's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Raufoss - Skeid 1-0 was the story when these two participants last did battle, earlier this season. Stats for the previous eight meetings featuring these two teams are: two wins for Skeid, one draw and five wins for Raufoss. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
