Stabaek vs Kongsvinger Match Preview

Stabaek is ranked at the 6th place with 15 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. It has not been their optimal start for the new season as their main goal is to finish in the top two spots in order to get back to top division football. But currently, they occupy the last spot of the playoffs even though the situation could change considering they are one game short.

With 13 goals scored so far they have proven to have a good attacking side and in the last five matches scored a total of six goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once on three occasions. Considering at home they are yet to taste victory after two draws and a loss in three games this is a golden chance to turn things around.

Kongsvinger, on the other side, is ranked at the 12th place with seven points and comes after a single win a draw, and three losses over the last five matches. They are one of the newly promoted teams and in fact, they have been struggling to find real consistency so far.

They have scored a total of 9 goals but they have a leaky defense having conceded a total of 13 goals. In the last five games, they conceded eight goals averaging almost two goals per game. What makes it worse is the fact that they failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the last five games. As a matter of fact, they kept a clean sheet just once out of eight duels played until now. On the road, their performance has been awful with four losses over four games.

In conclusion, I think Stabaek can win this match. They are a better team and I fancy them to be one of the teams to get directly promoted despite of the slow start. Winning here would catapult them to the third spot and only two points behind the 2nd. Also, they have the best defensive side in the league with only four goals conceded. Kongsvinger has not been exceptional in attack and I guess they will find it hard to score a goal here.
