Kristiansund and Aalesund meet often enough to be considered a pair that knows each other well. In the most recent meeting in June, Aalesund won away 3-0, and before that it was also Aalesund who picked up more results. But this time both teams come in under different circumstances. Both are at the bottom of the table and need points to escape the danger zone. Kristiansund have lost 3 in a row, and the defense is clearly a problem, especially the match where they were thrashed 1-8. Aalesund are not much better. Although they have picked up some wins, they have also lost in between, and they just lost 2-4 in their last match. Both teams have defenses that are similarly leaky, but Aalesund create slightly more chances with 5.5 shots on target per game, compared to 3.44 for the hosts. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because neither has anything to lose and both need points. The first half may be a period where both teams are still cautious, but in the second half, as the game opens up more, goals are likely to come from mistakes by both sides, especially late on when Kristiansund often concede.
