These teams have little in common geographically as Kristiansund have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Start form and stats

The previous season, Start's league results were 16 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, providing 3rd spot in the Obos-Ligaen. From these 30 matches they scored {63 goals} and gave away 38. Playing at home in the last season Start managed 9-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with {36 goals} and 16 conceded.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 190 minutes without scoring a league goal. Sanyang was the last player to find the net.

The Start coach Tjelmeland and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Moss (placed 11th).

A 1-1 scoreline against Tromsø (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) before that one, played at their own home stadium in the NM Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Start have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Kristiansund form and stats

Let's have a look at how Kristiansund performed last season in the Eliteserien: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 8 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 37 and conceded {60 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 3 and lost 11 with 10/31 goals scored/conceded.

Kristiansund might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fredrikstad proved too strong as Kristiansund slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Kristiansund Stadion.
