Grorud hosts Start in round 7 of the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 22nd at Grorud Matchbane (Oslo)
After relegation from the top division, Start has undergone considerable personnel changes. The backbone has been preserved to some extent, but the number of new players is very significant, and the newcomers are inferior to the departed performers in terms of quality. First of all, this fact affects the game in defense. Start is one of six teams, which conceded at least ten goals in the starting six rounds. Most of the newcomers are young players who lack experience.

The Achilles' heel of Start is away games. The Yellow-Blacks kept a clean sheet in only one of the thirty matches that were played on foreign pitches. And that game was friendly and took place before the start of the previous season. Yellow-Blacks allow their opponents to deliver many shots on their goal. Sindre Tjelmeland is at the helm, so you should not count on changes in the team's style. Excessive enthusiasm for actions in the attack at the expense of reliability — this is how the team's game can be characterized.
And what about Grorud? In the last season, the team barely retained its place in the division. It is also among the teams that conceded the most. The only clean sheet was gained in the match against Strommen, which managed to score only two goals in six rounds. At home, the Yellow-Blues score goals regularly. In the last fifteen home games, they failed to score only once. It happened in a game against Ranheim, which claimed to be in the top division. We think that the upcoming game will please the fans with interesting football and exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes and Over 2.5 goals scored
