Stabaek vs Kongsvinger

Nadderud Stadion is the venue as Stabaek and Kongsvinger meet in their first encounter in the Norway 1st Division since September 2013.

Stabaek have alternated between victories (2) and draws (2) across their last four league matches since a 1-0 home defeat to Sandnes in late April, despite netting under 1.5 goals in three of those fixtures. But the ‘Blues’ are still waiting for their first home win of the season, having drawn two of their opening three league games (L1), scoring just once. Indeed, low scoring has been a common theme at the Nadderud Stadion this season, as all three Stabaek’s league outings here have contained under 2.5 total goals. But two of those three matches featured a first-half goal, highlighting the potential for an early action.

Kongsvinger have suffered three defeats across their last four league matches (W1), with two of those fixtures seeing the opening goal arrive in the first 15 minutes of play. However, connoisseurs of action-packed football may want to skip Kongsvinger on the road, as they’ve netted only two goals across their opening four league travels. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that they’ve lost all four away games in the Norway 1st Division this term. Yet, with three of those reverses yielding a narrow one-goal margin, it’s fair to admit that Eirik Maeland’s men could hope to gain their first points on the road.
