Start form and stats

With 2 Obos-Ligaen wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Start, who have the fewest points (9) at home in Obos-Ligaen, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Start travelled for their previous game, a trip to Stjørdals-Blink that ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Stjørdals-Blink as Start were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until P. Reinhardsen popped out and made it level in the 90th minute.

In the match before that, Start hosted Åsane and drew the game 1-1.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Start handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, two draws and one defeat.

The manager S. Tjelmeland will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Jerv in only three days.

Start have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Sparebanken Sør Arena with 19 goals in 11 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Start with 27 goals conceded in these matches.

Grorud form and stats

There's been little loot from Grorud's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Obos-Ligaen. Grorud only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.

Grorud are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Obos-Ligaen against Raufoss (placed 9th).

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Ullensaker / Kisa.

We have checked recent matches where Grorud have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were two victories, two draws and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Fredrikstad in just four days.

Grorud has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 12 games. The Grorud manager J. Gjønnes Nilsen has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most up to date past history involving both these contenders is the Grorud - Start 1-4 played earlier this season.
