Stord vs Fana tips and predictions

Away side too short in betting for Division 3 fixture

Some reports have speculated that Fana might be vulnerable at the back. If there is any weakness, it could be exploited here. There might be a breathless start to this match-up. There's not a huge amount of confidence in the match winner market though.

To start this preview with a caveat; it's not the most confident of views but the away side price is too short.

Looking at the recent results for both sides, the hosts have bagged 3 wins from 4 matches while the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 2 of their last 3 matches, away and at home. For such a short priced team, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

Stord need to see that the visitors are over-confident and then build from there. They can't show any hesitation with their chances. They have been enterprising. Their recent 4 matches have them averaging an impressive 4.3 goals per game.

Fana have conceded at least once in all of their last 9 matches. The form book might be out the window after the first whistle if they've been working on any weaknesses in the first third of the pitch in time for the match. After all, they are the favourites for a reason.

Stord have won 4 of the last 8 fixtures between these sides before this one.

The outright win might be unrealistic but they can pinch something here. The sportsbooks expect both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Fana. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the smart play from that market.
