Go back ten matches and it gets worse: two wins, an average of 0.8 goals scored per game. The attack isn't functioning, even with survival on the line. Defensively it's no better - 1.6 goals conceded per game on average, which puts extra pressure on the backline and makes it harder to dig out results going forward.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Kristiansund's attack has been struggling in a systematic way: the team averages less than one goal per match. Even with the extra motivation that comes from fighting relegation, they can't consistently create danger going forward - recent form backs that up, and so does a long run of low-scoring games. Several factors point to a limited attacking output: the individual total under 1.5 has landed in seven of their last eight matches, and the average goals scored remains below one. Prediction - Kristiansund total goals under 1.5.
