This years jumbo, Odd, are guests in Kristiansand tonight. This is a place were Odd have had alot of problems, and they have lost their 4 last meetings here with the total score of 9-1. But with Odd's recent "good" results, I woun't be shocked if they win here tonight.

10. Start Kristiansand 10 3 4 3 16 :18 13

14. Odd Grenland 10 1 1 8 8 : 15 4

Start home: 2-2-1 8-6 8

Odd away: 0-1-4 4-9 1

Start is expected to end up in a mid table position. They are a hard working, lead by the two midfield-hobits Strømstad and Hæstad. Strømstad have been injured for some time, but will play tonight. During the last 5 games, Start have 2-0-3, where the 2 victories came agains VIF and Sandefjord at home. But the latest loss against Fredrikstad (3-0) and against Strømsgodset 25/5 (2-3), shows that they beatable, also for Odd.

Gets Strømstad back for this game, while Håland is probable. Wright and Mathisen are out.

Odd have been in serious trouble for some time now. They ended last season with 0-1-8 and have started this year with 1-1-8. But they have had 3 hard games now, and I think they have showed some potential. They lost 0-2 against Brann, but got a draw against VIF in the next game. This monday they got a 1-2 loss against Rosenborg, but they led 1-0 half-time, and actually had some good chances getting even more goals.

De Ornelas is still playing international games for Venezuela, while Ruud is back from suspention. Torjus Hansen played a very bad match against Rosenborg and according to their homepage, left back Hansen will be put on the bench, Könönen will take his place, Sørensen takes the left wing, while Ruud get back on the right wind.

Start are favorites here, but I think Odd should have more than 16-17% chance of winning. Odd have been really shitty for the past year, but they have shown promise the last 2 games and Start isn't unbeatable. Odd's bad streak can't go on forever, and If they play as they did against Rosenborg, they have a good chance getting 3 points here today. The odds for Odd was a bit higher 2 days ago, but I will try Unibet's 6.05 with 4/10.

Good luck with todays plays.
