A victory to the home team is expected from this match if the league table is to be trusted. The Stabæk regulars are confident that the gap between 4th and Kongsvinger's 11th position in the table will be visible on the playing field.

Insights:
  • Stabæk have the fewest conceded goals (4) in Obos-Ligaen
  • Kongsvinger have the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Obos-Ligaen

This football stadium uses the playing surface grass, unlike Kongsvinger's home arena. The former six games by the visitors on grass have generated 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

It's no vacation for neither Stabæk nor Kongsvinger as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Stabæk form and stats

Stabæk have played three Obos-Ligaen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Stabæk, as their goalkeeper Marcus Sandberg has completely shut out the opponents for 269 minutes in the Obos-Ligaen.

Stabæk travelled for their previous game, a trip to Bryne that ended 0-0.

Before that match, a win away at Raufoss.

The lack of attacking qualities in Stabæk means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Stabæk are not conceding a lot of goals here at Nadderud Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Kongsvinger form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Obos-Ligaen travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. Bitter travels for Kongsvinger as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Asker match.

The manager Mæland was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Gjemselund Stadion. Kongsvinger suffered a 1-3 loss to Brann (placed 2nd).

Prior to that match, the Kongsvinger manager Mæland faced defeat when travelling to KFUM and losing 0-1.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Kongsvinger's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's five Stabæk victories, one draw and one Kongsvinger win. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
