Start form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Sparebanken Sør Arena as Start have scored 27 goals to get 27 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Obos-Ligaen are 8-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Start tasted defeat here at Sparebanken Sør Arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

Start haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 268 minutes ago. Sakor scored that one.

No payout for Start in their previous match, an away game at Sandnes Ulf that ended in defeat 0-1. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated through five league matches.

Before that, Start drew at home versus Moss.

This is expected to be a close game, with Start perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Start as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Start has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Goals decide football matches and Start are scoring many of them at home; 27 on target from 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
