The Obos-Ligaen league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 6th and 8th respectively.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Start form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first game of the season here at Sparebanken Sør Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from Start's 15 home games. Three consecutive losses here at Sparebanken Sør Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.Start are returning here after visiting KFUM in a Obos-Ligaen game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Aalesund (0-1).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Start at home. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Raufoss form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Obos-Ligaen home defeat versus Sandefjord with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Nest-Sotra at their stadium, the result 2-1.
Raufoss has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip at the early stages of this season.
