Aalesund's last 20 look a little better on paper, five wins and eight draws against seven losses, but they've also shipped goals freely, conceding 41 while scoring 33. Plenty of their matches have been shootouts rather than tight affairs, including a 5-5 and a 6-1.

Both sides are inconsistent, and neither is flying into this one with real confidence.

Comparative Team Statistics: Kristiansund BK vs Aalesund

Head-to-head: mixed and recent results split

The two have met three times already this year across competitions. A summer friendly went 3-0 to Kristiansund BK, the Eliteserien meeting in April finished 1-1, and an earlier friendly in January went 1-0 to Aalesund.

Going back further, this fixture has swung between one-sided results and tight draws, including a 7-2 and a 4-0 in past seasons alongside several 1-1 draws. There's no consistent pattern to lean on.

Recent meetings don't point clearly either way.

Table: separated by very little

Aalesund currently sit 14th with 21 points from 21 games, while Kristiansund BK are just below them in 15th on 19 points from the same number of matches. Only two points and one place separate them.

Both have lost more games than they've won this season, which lines up with the shaky recent form on each side.

What kind of game this could be

Both teams have shown they can concede regularly, whether in their recent form or in past meetings between these two clubs. Aalesund's away form has included high-scoring games like the 5-5 draw and the 6-1 win, while Kristiansund's matches have often been low on goals for themselves but not always tight at the other end.

Given the defensive frailty on both sides this season, a repeat of the low-scoring 1-1 from their last league meeting looks less certain than another game where both ends of the pitch see action.

Clean sheets haven't been common for either side lately.
