This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eliteserien, Sandefjord holding 14th place and Aalesund lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sandefjord and Aalesund.
7 - 3 - 3 with 19-12. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Aalesund when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Aalesund play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Sandefjord form and stats
Three Eliteserien home games done for Sandefjord, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sandefjord with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Start game, 24 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Sandefjord are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Komplett Arena, having lost their two previous games here.
In their previous game, the manager M. Cifuentes Corvillo led his Sandefjord to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Brann. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Komplett Arena. Preceding that match was a defeat to Sarpsborg 08 (0-3).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sandefjord have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn four and lost one.
There will be little rest for Sandefjord after this match as they are travelling to Rosenborg for a Eliteserien game in only four days.
Sandefjord aren't scoring a lot here at Komplett Arena in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Sandefjord are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Aalesund form and stats
The Eliteserien season is young and Aalesund, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Eliteserien, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far. Aalesund has drawn their two previous away games.
Home advantage was not enough for Aalesund in their previous game, as they lost their Eliteserien-match, hosting Bodø / Glimt, 1-6. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Vålerenga.
Aalesund lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.

A quick return to home after this game, as Aalesund are hosting Stabæk in the Eliteserien only four days away.
