The Tromsø & Sandnes Ulf managers G. Helstrup and S. Landro are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Obos-Ligaen league table.
Tromsø and Sandnes Ulf should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Tromsø form and stats
4-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Obos-Ligaen numbers at home for Tromsø, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Obos-Ligaen, so far this season. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena. Tromsø has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Alfheim Stadion. We remember; it was Stabæk.
It's back home for Tromsø, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Åsane away with the result 1-0. S. Opsahl found the net in that victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Stjørdals-Blink in a game that was won 4-2.
The victory against Åsane came after S. Opsahl's winning goal. The Tromsø manager G. Helstrup was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 77th minute.
The manager G. Helstrup will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Grorud in only four days.
Tromsø have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Alfheim Stadion with 7 goals in 4 league matches. Tromsø have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Sandnes Ulf form and stats
Sandnes Ulf are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Obos-Ligaen, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
The supporters enjoyed Sandnes's previous game versus Ranheim (placed 2nd), a Obos-Ligaen 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Strømmen's place.
After this away game Sandnes return home for a Obos-Ligaen game against KFUM. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Sandnes are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). The Sandnes manager S. Landro has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Tromsø won one, Sandnes Ulf won three and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
