Storhamar is currently in streak of seven wins in a row, all in regular time, and their goal difference in that seven games reads 40:13. They are in great form and have won against some of the strongest teams, namely Valerenga (6:2), Sparta (7:1), Stavanger (3:0) and their todays opponent Frisk (11:3)!!! Very impressive results, and from their last win against Frisk passed only a week.

Frisk is in total contrast to Storhamar. After seven wins in a row, they've entered three games losing streak against Stavanger, Storhamar and Valerenga. In last round they've won against Lillehammer with 4:3, but that game couldn't go without shocks for their fans as they had 3:0 lead in the first period and in the end they had to fight for that three points. "Chemistry" in team seems to be gone, they aren't playing as they've played in the begining of the season. In last four games they've conceded 28 goals, average 7 per match which attack just can't amend, although they have the best efficiency in league.

In this match they will enter for "revenge" but also there is very interesting situation on table - Valerenga is first with 63 points from 31 games, Storhamar is just behind with 60 points from 29 games, same number of games has Frisk, but with two points less they are on third place, while fourth Sparta has same number of points but from 30 games. So, currently only five points divide first and fourth team, most equal championship in recent years with four teams involved in fight for first place until the end. Every match is important and motivation isn't questionable.

Here i decide to back Storhamar, from very simple reasons. IMO they have better quality then Frisk, then there is much better form and their mental advantage after recent 11:3 win. Moreover, they had five days rest before this match, while Frisk had match just two days ago, and even before that they had tough schedule facing Valerenga, Storhamar and Stavanger. Their result lately haven't been the best and i rate this odds very good for single bet. Their meetings this season look like this:

2007-12-30 Frisk Asker 3-11 Storhamar

2007-11-18 Storhamar 6-6, 7-6 OT Frisk Asker

2007-10-04 Frisk Asker 2-3 Storhamar

Their meetings usually end with high number of goals, if you remember i played over in that 11:3 match, but here i will stick with in form Storhamar which currently plays best hockey in league.
