Start have played 8 Obos-Ligaen games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Start, their manager Tjelmeland and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The home team returns to Sparebanken Sør Arena after drawing with Mjøndalen (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Sandnes Ulf (1-2).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Start as they are travelling to their away game against Brann in the Obos-Ligaen. That match is four days after this one.
A decent goal production from Start in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Fredrikstad form and stats
2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Fredrikstad playing as the away team in the Obos-Ligaen this season.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Raufoss was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
