Sandefjord are looking to overlook the league table ahead of this match against Aalesund. Here's everything you should know pre-match!
- Sandefjord have the fewest matches under the total-line (1) in Eliteserien
2-2-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Aalesund when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 11-20 (scored/conceded).
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Sandefjord form and stats
0-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Sandefjord so far this season.
Sandefjord are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 3-4 away versus Sarpsborg 08. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten in three league fixtures. A goal frenzy last time out for Sandefjord, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Sarpsborg 08. Fun stuff to watch! Ofkir has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in five matches in a row. Ace! Vega, who usually features in attack, was the best performer for the side in that match, earning a rating of 8.63 (out of 10). Vega scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sandefjord perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sandefjord as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Sandefjord has won 3 of these, drawn 6 and lost 2.
Goal fest? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 10 of the 11 latest league matches with this side has contained at least three goals.
Sandefjord are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. As for conceded goals, Sandefjord's unpleasant statistic is 11 goals surrendered.
Aalesund form and stats
2-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Aalesund in their Eliteserien matches away.
Aalesund won their last game, 1-0 versus Strømsgodset played at home. That victory felt good as this team had gone three league games without winning. Attacker Haugen got a player rating of 8.14 in the game. "Man of the match" Haugen scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Aalesund playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Aalesund wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Aalesund have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
