Kristiansund BK vs Stabaek Predictions

Kristiansund could move into the top three with a win this weekend and the host’s form suggests three points will surely be heading their way against bottom of the table Stabaek. The visitors have lost their last four league games on the run but have been progressing in the NM Cupen and will be aiming to transfer their cup form into the Eliteserien on Sunday.

Kristiansund controlled large parts of their trip to Mjondalen last weekend but poor finishing saw the visitors leave with just a point to show for their efforts. Kristiansund had 53% of the overall possession, more corners, and far more shots than their hosts but went behind in the twenty-fifth minute. With five minutes left on the clock, Diop spared the visitor’s blushes with an equalising goal but really Kristiansund should have won the game. Stabaek had the home advantage against Tromso on Monday night but ended up losing the game to a second-half penalty from Taylor. The hosts were awarded a spot-kick of their own four minutes from time but Kassi fluffed his lines and Stabaek lost.

The head to head record between these two clubs and the form and performances of both teams heading into this weekend’s match, all suggests that Kristiansund will win the game and keep a clean sheet. Kristiansund have won the last four encounters between these two clubs and have kept four clean sheets in their six meetings with Stabaek. Kristiansund have won four of their last six matches in all competitions, while Stabaek have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions. Stabaek have failed to score in four of their last six matches, which is why we’re backing a 2-0 win for Kristiansund this weekend.

Bye, Kalludra, and Kastrati all joint top score for the hosts with two league goals each so far this season, while Boli leads the way for Stabaek with four Eliteserien goals. We’re confident that Kristiansund will win to nil on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts have a good record of wins and clean sheets against their guests, and head into the match as the clear form favourites.
