Froya vs Oppsal tips and predictions

Too soon to dismiss Froya

This is a match destined for at least a few goals so this will be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

A result here could be within Froya's capabilities.

Froya will be desperate for evidence that they can add another L to the Oppsal's recent results. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 14 losses from their last 20 away matches. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Froya but this isn't a foregone conclusion and a home win looks a fair shout.

Froya will need to be patient and maintain their discipline. They'll have to be prepared for extended periods with very little possession if they're to get this done. The home side is certainly in some form. They have scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 8 home matches and the rest of the team has been industrious too. In their current run they have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 8 home games.

Oppsal haven't been enjoying life on their rivals' soil. They've actually let in an average of 2.6 goals in their last 20 matches away from their own turf. And the home side's defenders will be looking for evidence that they don't have to expect carnage. Goal scoring chances away from their own soil have proved elusive for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 13 of their last 17 away matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up with honours even. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Oppsal. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around.
