Action continues in round 16 of Norwegian Eliteserien as Odds BK and Stromsgodset square off at the Skagerak Arena on Sunday (July 28). Jorgen Isnes’ men are on a three-game unbeaten streak against Odds.
The hosts were left empty handed yet again, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to leaders Bodo/Glimt last Saturday. Kenneth Dokken’s men have lost three games on the bounce and are without a win in six matches across competitions since a 2-1 victory over Lillestrom on May 26.
This poor run of form has seen Odds plunge into the bottom end of the table, as they sit in 15th place, just one point above last-placed Sandefjord.
Meanwhile, Stromsgodset continue to struggle, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Tromso at the Marienlyst Stadion last time out. Isnes’ men have gone five league games without a win, losing twice since successive victories over Haugesund and Sarpsborg in May.
With 19 points from 15 matches, Stromsgodset are seventh in the Eliteserien table, level on points with eighth-placed Lillestrom.
