It's the first game of the new season for Odd and Sandefjord. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Sandefjord's home stadium. The visitors last 27 games on artifical turf have ended in 8 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses.
Odd form and stats
Odd have prepared for this season with eight friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these eight matches are 4 victories, 1 draws and 3 losses. In these games, Odd have scored 21 goals and conceded 16 times.
Last season, Odd's league statistics were 15 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Eliteserien. Over these 30 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 40. Playing at home last season Odd managed 12-3-0 (win-draw-lost) with 31 goals and 14 conceded.
Sandefjord form and stats
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 seven with the results W1-D3-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Sandefjord has scored 9 goals and conceded 12 times.
A job perfectly done for Sandefjord last season as they secured promotion from Obos-Ligaen. With a grand total of 19 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 7 were in away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Odd, four draws and zero wins for Sandefjord. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Odd missing players
