Start vs Sandnes Match Preview

Start is ranked at 8th place with 22 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It has been a season with ups and downs so far for them but still, they are in the fight for a playoff spot. In case of a win here, they could climb into the top six.

With 25 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in the league but in the last five matches they have scored a total of just four goals which is below their expectations considering they are a team averaging almost two goals per game. Failing to score in any of the last three matches will give them the urge to change something here and try to bounce back.

With Brunes who is the best scorer in the league with 11 goals - 4 assists and Fallenius 3 goals - 7 assists, they have a powerful duo in attack.

Sandes, on the other hand, is ranked at 6th place with 25 points and comes after two wins a draw, and two losses over the last five matches. Currently, they sit in the last spot that gives a ticket to the playoffs and they will seek to keep riding on this winning streak in order to hold their position and why not climb in ranks.

With 22 goals they have shown a solid offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of 10 goals averaging two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each encounter.

For the visitors, the leader on their offensive side has been Ramsland with 6 goals - 1 assist and Ekeland 5 goals - 1 assist.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Start plays at home ground where they managed to score a goal as a minimum in each of the last five duels against Sandnes. Considering their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five games is a strong signal. Sandnes has been scoring with more consistency recently despite the final result and I fancy them to score once again in this one.
