Jerv vs Haugesund Predictions

• Jerv have only failed to net in two of their six home league games
• Haugesund have scored in each of their last ten matches
• Both teams have netted in half a dozen successive Haugesund league outings

Can Jerv end dreadful run?

Jerv are having a terrible time of things in their first season in Norway’s top flight, picking up just seven of an available 30 points and losing their last five league fixtures.

Arne Sandstø’s side have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten, that coming in a cup tie against minnows Express, while both teams have netted in their last three outings.

They are not the most prolific side in the Eliteserien, netting just five times so far, but four of those strikes have come at Levermyr Stadion, scoring once in four of their half a dozen games there.

Haugesund looking to build on good form

Haugesund have hauled themselves out of the bottom two in recent weeks, at Jerv’s expense, thanks to a four game unbeaten run, during which they have scored ten times.

Their defence is particularly leaky though, conceding eight strikes during the same period, with both teams netting in each outing.

Jostein Grindhaug’s side have the worst goals against record in the division and have kept just one clean sheet in a dozen outings, but they have also scored in all bar one of their six away fixtures.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, but it is likely to be quite a tight affair, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
