Aalesund haven't exactly been steady either. They've picked up a similar number of wins to Kristiansund but drawn far more games, and their matches have tended to be high-scoring in both directions, including a 5-5 and a 6-1.

Both teams have shipped goals regularly this season, which is worth bearing in mind regardless of who ends up favoured.

Comparative Team Statistics: Kristiansund BK vs Aalesund

A long-running rivalry

These two have faced off many times, mixing league fixtures with regular friendlies. The results swing all over the place, from heavy wins for either side to tight draws, and there's no clear pattern of one team dominating the other recently.

The most recent meeting, a summer friendly, went comfortably to Aalesund, but a competitive league draw between them isn't far behind it. Given how much of this history is friendlies rather than fixtures that carry the same intensity, it's hard to draw firm conclusions from it.

The head-to-head record doesn't offer a strong lean either way.
