7-2-18 (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 35-61 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
