Start go into this fixture following a 1-1 Eliteserien tied result versus Tromsø IL.

In that game, Start managed 53% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Start was Erlend Segberg (75'). On the other side, Tromso got 6 shots on goal with 2 on target. Jens Hjertø-Dahl (33') scored for Tromsø IL.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Start have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Start have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 13 goals in the process. That kind of pattern might not be sustained here, though.
