Varnamo: form and statistics

Varnamo seem to be getting their rhythm right during the break, where they won their two friendly clashes. They began with a 3-2 win over Molde before getting a 6-1 win over B.93.

With the look of things, they already look like a relegation candidate and will now need to do something extraordinary to stay in the top flight next season.
