FK Haugesund
LLLLLL ☠
FK Haugesund won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 4-0 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against Sandefjord.
In that game, FK Haugesund managed 51% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for FK Haugesund was Mikkel Fischer (64' Own goal). On the other side, Sandefjord got 11 attempts on goal with 8 on target. Evangelos Patoulidis (8') and Christopher Cheng (58', 86') scored for Sandefjord.
FK Haugesund have been quite ineffective in attack of late. Their goals record equals just 2 vs opponents over their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, FK Haugesund have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 17. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

- have not lost a league tie with Kristiansund in their previous 4 games.
- are without a home win in the past 5 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.
Kristiansund
WLWLLW
Kristiansund will come into the clash after a 4-1 Eliteserien win to beat Rosenborg BK in their most recent outing.
In that match, Kristiansund had 48% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 9 on target. For Kristiansund, the goalscorers were Sander Kilen (21', 33'), Ruben Alte (35') and Haakon Haugen (84'). For their opponents, Rosenborg had 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Emil Ceïde (45') was the scorer for Rosenborg BK.
The stats don’t lie, and Kristiansund have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 8 goals in all. At the back, Kristiansund can certainly do much better.
Heading into this contest, Kristiansund have not registered a win against FK Haugesund when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 league games. Not the best of away records.

Team News: Kristiansund
Kristiansund manager Amund Skiri has multiple availability issues to deal with. Max Williamsen (Cruciate ligament injury) and Michael Lansing (unknown injury) miss out here.
We are inclined to think that KBK seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, starting K. A. Skjærstein, Ian Hoffmann, Marius Olsen, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Mikkel Rakneberg, Niklas Ødegård, Wilfred George Igor, Ruben Alte, David Tufekcic, Sander Kilen and M. Isah Ubandoma.
