There’s action from the Norwegian second tier on Thursday night with a clash between Tromsdalen and Jerv as the betting tips continue at the Alfheim Stadion in what is a bottom of the table encounter with both teams needing all three points here…
Tromsdalen – Can Tromsdalen halt their losing streak?
Tromsdalen have had to endure a horrific start to their 1.Division campaign in the Norwegian second tier as they sit rock bottom of the division with just 1 point to their name, and they head into Thursday evening’s encounter with Jerv on the back of a string of defeats.
Tromsdalen have suffered six defeats on the trot with losses incurred against Skeid, Notodden, Kongsvinger, Aalesund, KFUM and Raufoss, and although they’ve been on the end of the losing side, the spectators have been treated to plenty of goals.
Results overall have seen 8 of Tromsdalen’s 9 matches to date this season resulting over 2.5 goals, while the hosts’ home record stands at a disappointing 0-1-3 5/16. Tromsdalen also possess the worst defensive record at home in the Norwegian second tier, with 3 of their 4 home matches resulting in over 2.5 goals too.
With just 1 clean sheet from their last 12 matches on home turf, it’s easy to see why Tromsdalen’s home matches produce plenty of goals, but they have goal potential of their own in the shape of midfielder Kristoffersen and forward Andersen (3 goals apiece).
Jerv Prediction – Can Jerv pull away from relegation zone?
Jerv have fared slightly better than their hosts so far this season in the 1.Division as they sit in 12th place and hold a 7-point margin above the relegation zone and second from bottom side Notodden as they make their way over to face Tromsdalen this Thursday evening.
However, Jerv have picked up just 2 wins to date this season which were against Notodden 3-1 and Ullensaker/Kisa 2-0, which were also both recorded at their J.J. Ugland Stadion – Levermyr in Grimstad.
The visitors still remain without a win on their travels and hold a disappointing away record of 0-3-2 5/11 which includes draws with Skeid, Kongsvinger and HamKam, along with losses at KFUM and Start, 5-0 and 3-2 respectively.
3 of Jerv’s 5 away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals while their goalscoring threat comes in the shape of midfielder Wichmann (3 goals) and forward Anene (4 goals), and they’ll fancy their chances of putting a few past the leaky Tromsdalen defence here I fancy.
