I guess a similar question of strategy is in regard to teams that relegate...one would expect them to dominate the lower league, but that's not always the case. I remember this year everyone thought ADO den Haag would dominate Holland Jupiler, but they have really struggled away from home, currently 5th. I guess Start and maybe Odd could do well in Adeccoligaen this year, but maybe they have lost players since dropping from Tippeligaen. Or maybe they can't get motivated to play in lower league. |
What i ment was that teams as Mandalskameratene, Skeid, Sparta and so on, was more focused on the defence part, and tryed to keep the score as low as possibel against Molde. Therefore its harder for Molde to creat chances and score many goals. Clubs in Tippeligaen, as Brann, Stabęk, Viking and so on will attack and expect to take three points against Molde. So Molde will get more space in their attacks and that might suit them a little better.
I havent looked at any stats if there are more goals in Tippeligaen then Adeccoligaen, but i guess its more goals in Adeccoligaen. The difference between the clubs are bigger there and clubs that are relegated from Tippeligaen is always fighting in the top.
Start has lost some good players, but has many talented players in their sqaud and i expect them to be in the top of Adecco together with Odd, Sandefjord, Bryne and Moss.
