It's still early in the Obos-Ligaen season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Strømmen - Sandnes Ulf preview!
It's no vacation for neither Strømmen nor Sandnes Ulf 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sandnes Ulf have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 9-7-12 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
Strømmen form and stats
Only two Obos-Ligaen home games for Strømmen so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Strømmen has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager O. Nesselquist and the players.
In their previous game, the manager O. Nesselquist led his Strømmen to a defeat in the Obos-Ligaen match away at Stjørdals-Blink. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Strømmen Stadion. Preceding that match was a defeat to Åsane (0-3).
There will be little rest for Strømmen after this match as they are travelling to Raufoss for a Obos-Ligaen game in only three days.
Strømmen has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Sandnes Ulf form and stats
Sandnes Ulf are still undefeated on their travels in the Obos-Ligaen. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Sandnes go into this game after a win, the home game against Ullensaker / Kisa that ended 2-1. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sogndal at their stadium, the result 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Sandnes are hosting Ranheim in the Obos-Ligaen only three days away.
