Start form and stats

The Start crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Jerv here at Sparebanken Sør Arena in a Obos-Ligaen match. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Before that match, a win away at Sandnes Ulf.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Start as they are travelling to their away game against Ranheim in the Obos-Ligaen. That match is three days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Start at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
