It's no vacation for neither Start nor Stjørdals-Blink as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Stjørdals-Blink 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

Start's struggle is real here at Sparebanken Sør Arena with only 4 points collected from 6 Obos-Ligaen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4.

The spoils were shared in Start's previous game, also at home. Visiting Raufoss (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline.

Before that match, a win away at KFUM.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Start as they are travelling to their away game against Express in the NM Cup. That match is three days after this one.

The Start fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Start have allowed the opposition to score 15 goals here at Sparebanken Sør Arena.
