Raufoss form and stats

Let's have a look at how Raufoss performed last season in the Obos-Ligaen: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 5 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 51 and conceded 54 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 18/28 goals scored/conceded.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Raufoss playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and four home wins.

Raufoss played ten friendlies in their break from official games, resulting in 5 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. In these ten matches Raufoss scored 19 and conceded 17 goals.
