Start has both the goal and the potential to be promoted directly from OBOS this season, as they did last season where they ended 3rd and lost in the playoffs. There are also expectations of this in the city and among bookmakers.

Start had a slow start, with only 1 victory in the first 5 rounds, but things are starting to pick up for the team from the south. In the second half against Hødd, we saw the potential that this team possesses, and they secured another strong 1-4 victory against Skeid on Nordre Åsen on Saturday, which followed a previous solid victory for 4:2 against Hodd.

After an injury-plagued start to the season, they are now seeing more potential key players returning. Especially in the offensive department, things are looking good for this Start team. Loan signing from Lillestrøm, Henrik Skogvold, has scored five goals in five games. Sanyang is finding the back of the net, Strannegård can contribute with both goals and assists. Sawo has been in and out of the bench after his injury, but he was a huge threat when he came on against Hødd.

Tuesday's opponent is Sandnes Ulf. They impressed against Kristiansund by keeping up in the first half, and not least by the way they reacted after being reduced to 10 men. They are currently in 13th place and have not won since they somewhat luckily defeated Skeid in the season opener. They have yet to score a goal away from home in three games played so far.

Coach Bjarne Berntsen has announced that he will step down after the season, and that could also affect the player group.

Start has something to prove after a stumbling season start, and a home game on May 16th (the day before the norwegian national day) must be the perfect time to prove what they are capable of. Start has scored 0, 4, 2, 1, 2, 4, and 4 goals this season, and I believe they can easily score a few against Sandnes Ulf as well.

Start既有目标，也有潜力在本赛季直接从OBOS升级，就像他们上个赛季一样，他们最终以第三名的成绩结束了季后赛。伦敦和博彩公司也对此抱有期待。

Start开局缓慢，前5轮只赢了1场，但对于这支来自南方的球队来说，情况开始好转。在与霍德的下半场比赛中，我们看到了这支球队所拥有的潜力，他们在周六在诺德雷Åsen以1-4的比分击败了斯基德，此前他们以4:2的比分稳稳取胜。

在经历了赛季初的伤病困扰之后，他们现在看到了更多有潜力的关键球员回归。特别是在进攻方面，这支首发球队看起来很不错。从利勒斯特尔姆租借而来的亨里克·斯科格沃尔德在5场比赛中打进5球。三洋正在寻找进球的机会，斯特兰内格涅瓦可以贡献进球和助攻。Sawo在受伤后一直在替补席上轮换，但他在对阵h - dd的比赛中上场时给球队带来了巨大的威胁。

周二的对手是桑德内斯·乌尔夫。在对阵克里斯蒂安桑德的比赛中，他们在上半场的表现给人留下了深刻的印象，尤其是在被减少到10人的情况下他们的反应。他们目前排在第13位，自从他们在赛季揭幕战中幸运地击败斯基德之后就没有赢过球。迄今为止，他们在三场比赛中尚未在客场取得进球。

主教练伯恩特森宣布他将在赛季结束后辞职，这也可能影响到球员群体。

在经历了一个磕磕绊绊的赛季开始后，Start需要证明一些东西，而5月16日的主场比赛(挪威国庆日的前一天)一定是证明他们能力的最佳时机。Start本赛季已经进了0,4,2,1,2,4和4个球，我相信他们在对阵Sandnes Ulf的比赛中也能轻松进几个球。
