Sandefjord form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sandefjord performed last season in the Eliteserien: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 6 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded 52 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 1 and lost 10 with 17/34 goals scored/conceded.

We have checked recent matches where Sandefjord have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were two victories, one draw and four defeats.

It's a day of discovery for Sandefjord as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Sandefjord have played eight with the results W5-D1-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Sandefjord has scored 16 goals and conceded 10 times.

Head 2 Head
