We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This football field has grass, which is not Kristiansund's usual surface at their own stadium. When playing on grass Kristiansund have performed like this: Played 15 matches producing 1 win, 7 draws and 7 defeats with the goal production 10-21 (scored/conceded).

Sandefjord can neither be promoted or relegated from Eliteserien. Kristiansund is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Sandefjord form and stats

The story so far in the Eliteserien for Sandefjord at their home stadium (Komplett Arena) is 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

Sandefjord enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Haugesund's place. The match ended 2-1 with Erik Brenden and William Kurtović scoring. The victory against Haugesund came after Erik Brenden's winning goal. The Sandefjord manager A. Tegström was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 79th minute. Midfield player William Kurtović got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Kurtović scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

In the match before that, Sandefjord hosted Brann and drew the game 2-2.

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 ten games. Sandefjord has won two of these, drawn seven and lost one.

Sandefjord are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 14 games. Sandefjord have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Kristiansund form and stats

Kristiansund have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 4-2-8 (14 played).

The manager C. Michelsen was unhappy after their last game, a Eliteserien match played at their home ground Kristiansund Stadion. Kristiansund suffered a 2-3 loss to Viking (placed 3rd). Late heartbreak for Kristiansund in the Viking match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. Midfield player Torgil Owre Gjertsen was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.82/10. Gjertsen scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Stabæk wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Kristiansund in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Kristiansund, five draws and two defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kristiansund as they have only managed to score 12 times from 14 away games in the league. As for defending, Kristiansund rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 27 goals from these away matches.
