Competition: Norway Eliteserien

Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Komplett Arena (6600 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Sandefjord have their presumed home advantage while Bodø / Glimt are ahead 19 points in the Eliteserien table.

Sandefjord and Bodø / Glimt should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Bodø / Glimt's home stadium. The visitors last 13 games on grass have ended in 1 win, 7 draws and 5 losses.

Bodø / Glimt have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Sandefjord form and stats

The story so far in the Eliteserien for Sandefjord at their home stadium (Komplett Arena) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. It’s been three wins in a row for Sandefjord here at Komplett Arena, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Sandefjord are returning here after visiting Strømsgodset in a Eliteserien game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Sivert Gussias (2), Kristoffer Normann Hansen and Rufo scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Sandefjord won a home game hosting Molde (2-1).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Sandefjord made it very difficult for themselves, when Martin Kreuzriegler got a red card in the 90th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Sandefjord won the match 4-3! Manager M. Cifuentes Corvillo felt very clever after Kristoffer Normann Hansen scored the winning goal against Strømsgodset, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 64th minute. A late climax in the match against Strømsgodset as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Kristoffer Normann Hansen.

The Sandefjord fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Sandefjord have conceded 7 in these home matches.
