Øygarden form and stats

There's been little loot from Øygarden's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Øygarden, who have the most conceded goals (17) away in Obos-Ligaen, only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Øygarden's previous game versus Jerv (placed 8th), a Obos-Ligaen 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Strømmen that ended 2-2.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Øygarden played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

After this away game Øygarden return home for a Obos-Ligaen game against Lillestrøm. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The travelling fans enjoy Øygarden's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Øygarden's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 17 goals in 6 travels.
