Start form and stats
Start have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Obos-Ligaen. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
It's back home for Start, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Skeid away with the result 4-1. Mares, Skogvold and Grundetjern (2) found the net in that victory. The home team have an in-form goalscorer in Skogvold, having scored in three matches in a row.
Before that, Start had a home game versus Hødd which ended with a victory 4-2.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Start's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 5 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.
Both teams to score! That has happened in 5 league rounds in a row for this club. Will it happen again?
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Start defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Sandnes Ulf form and stats
The Obos-Ligaen season is young and Sandnes Ulf have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Sandnes Ulf's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Kristiansund that finished 1-1. The draw against Kristiansund came from a losing position. The Sandnes Ulf manager Berntsen brought on Aune as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
Prior to that match, the Sandnes Ulf manager Berntsen faced defeat when travelling to Moss and losing 0-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sandnes playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 1 home win.
