Start are bottom of the Eliteserien and have taken just seven points from 14 matches and losing a league-high of nine games. 

Azar Karadas’s outfit have lost their last three league matches, starting with a 2-1 loss at Fredrikstad. Start then lost 2-1 at Brann and had just  34% possession. 

The Yellows’ losing streak continued following a 3-0 home defeat to Rosenborg. Start conceded after 35 minutes and let in two late goals.
