Aalesund - Sandefjord: Eliteserien cellar sides desperate for points and praise. Read all the available statistics and news before the game!

Insights:
  • Sandefjord have the most conceded goals (61) in Eliteserien

11-2-14 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sandefjord when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 27 matches are 44-55 (scored/conceded).

These are full days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Eliteserien. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Jerv.

Happy days for Aalesund in their previous game, a fixture away at Jerv (placed 16th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Fällman, defender, was given a rating of 7.3/10 in that game, top of the team. Fällman won 9 of 13 duels.

Sandefjord form and stats

Playing away, Sandefjord have won 5 games, drawn 0 and suffered 8 defeats in the Eliteserien this season. Sandefjord are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bodø / Glimt wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
