FREDRIKSTAD v KRISTIANSUND – Pick: 1 – 28 July 2014

Fredrikstad to sneak top half clash

International Football Tips

Football – Norway – Adeccoligaen

Monday 28th July 2014 – Kickoff: 1900hrs

Next up is a top half clash in the Norwegian Adeccoligaen between hosts Fredrikstad and visitors Kristiansund as they battle it out not only for a play-off place but also possibly an automatic promotion spot into the Tippeligaen.

Fifth placed Fredrikstad are currently enjoying a solid spell of good form of late as they’ve lost just once in their last nine matches with the one defeat coming against Baerum in a 0-1 away defeat. Aside from that reverse, they’ve registered recent wins over Bryne, Strommen, Honefoss, Ham Kam and Bryne again in an away win.

Their home form has also been pretty consistent too with an overall record of  5-2-1  16/6 and they’re unbeaten in their last seven at their Nye Fredrikstad Stadion, keeping four clean sheets in the process.

 

Visitors Kristiansund are currently one point and one place above Fredrikstad as they’re in fourth place, but face a tricky trip away to their play-off rivals. Kristiansund are unbeaten in their last five league matches but three of these have been at home where they’ve registered two wins and a draw (Nest-Sotra 2-1, Mjondalen 1-1 and Baerum 4-1).

However, away from home they’ve returned some mixed results with wins at Bryne and Hodd, defeats to Baerum and Tromso along with a draw with Sandefjord 0-0. Their overall away record stands at  2-3-3  10/13 and apart from Nest-Sotra (14 goals), they’ve conceded the highest number of goals away from home in the division.

 

Fredrikstad have been solid at home so far so I’ll back them to register the points here today in what could be a 2-1 win for the hosts.

Pick: Fredrikstad straight win @ 1.89 Pinnacle
