Kristiansund

WLLLDL

Kristiansund will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against FK Haugesund.

In that match, Kristiansund had 62% possession and 16 shots on goal with 5 on target. FK Haugesund got 8 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Alexander Søderlund (2') and Alioune Ndour (48') scored for FK Haugesund.

It has been seldom in recent times where Kristiansund have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Kristiansund have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals in the process. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

Pre-game facts show that Kristiansund:

• are undefeated by Strømsgodset IF in home games against them for the last 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in the league by Strømsgodset IF in their last 4 games.
• are without a home win in the past 2 matches in the league.
