Start form and stats

Start drew their last game, 2-2 away at Ranheim (placed 9th). A disappointing finish for Start in their match versus Ranheim as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

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