Skeid have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Obos-Ligaen, after 1-3-4 (8 played).

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Fredrikstad with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Skeid in the Fredrikstad match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Åsane.
