Kristiansund Favourites Over Relegation Candidates

2274

The action in the 2019 Eliteserien continues this weekend and on Sunday we have a game between a team pushing for top place and a team hoping to move off the bottom.

Kristiansund welcome Stabaek to the Kristiansund Stadion knowing a win could move them into third place in the table. However, for the visitors, the only goal is to move off the bottom and a win could see them do that if other results go their way.

The hosts come into this match having been held in their previous Eliteserien game last weekend. It was a good point in the end having been 1-0 down for much of the game only to equalise with just 5 minutes remaining on the clock.

That result means Kristiansund are undefeated in their last seven league matches. They have won four of those games and been held in three, including each of the last two. They are one of the in-form teams in Norway at present and trends show they have won seven of their last eight at home.

In fact, Kristiansund have remained undefeated in their last nine home Eliteserien matches and recorded an impressive 3-2 win over Molde last time out. In six of their last eight on home soil, Kristiansund have managed to score 2 or more goals and they have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four.

Stabaek may have a couple of games in hand on the teams above them but they need to begin winning matches soon if they want to move off the bottom of the league. Trends show they have lost each of their last four Eliteserien games and if they do not turn that run around soon, they could find themselves adrift.

You must go back to the 28th April to find the last time Stabaek won a league match and that came at home against Bodo Glimt. Their away form is terrible and trends show they have won only one of their last twenty away Eliteserien games.

Furthermore, Stabaek have failed to score a single goal in any of their previous four away league matches and have lost by a 3 goal margin in three of the last four on the road.

Team news and Kristiansund could have every player available for this match. They have no suspensions and the only doubt is in defence but Christophe Psyche is expected to be fit.

Stabaek are without Ronald Hernández who is currently on international duty with Venezuela at the Copa America. They have also have doubts over the fitness of Jeppe Moe and Tobias Borkeeiet, the latter of which has been suffering from a virus.

Going by the form book, this should be a comfortable win for the hosts. The Kristiansund fans will be expecting a few goals in this game and they could come away with a winning margin of 2 goals or more plus a clean sheet.
