In a mid week match on Mon Apr 18th, in week 3, Jerv hosts Kristiansund at J.j. Ugland Stadion – Levermyr in a Eliteserien match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Jerv is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Lillestrøm. Akor Jerome Adams struck first for Lillestrøm in the 12th minute, then Pål André Helland added another in the 40th minute In the end, Jerv was frustrated by Lillestrøm’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Lillestrøm ended the match with the shutout victory. Jerv is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while kristiansund sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-3 loss against Sarpsborg 08. Anton Saletros scored the first goal for Sarpsborg 08 in the 1st minute, then Mikkel Maigaard added another in the 32nd minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Kristiansund is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Torgil Owre Gjertsen and Bendik Bye each having 2 goals in their last 5.
