Sandefjord form and stats

Overall Eliteserien results at home this season for Sandefjord are 0-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Sandefjord, who won 2-1 against Jerv (placed 15th). At last, a league win after three fixtures without. Defender Jansen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.81/10. Jansen scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 3 of 3 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Aalesund.

Goals, goals, goals? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 12 of the 13 latest league matches with this club has seen three goals or more.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sandefjord, as the Eliteserien home game vs Kristiansund is only three days away.

Sandefjord are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Sandefjord having conceded 13 goals here at Komplett Arena so far. When Sandefjord hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Jerv, Kristiansund, Tromsø, Haugesund and Vålerenga), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Molde form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses in the Eliteserien.

The club members enjoyed Molde's previous match versus Elfsborg, a Europa Conference League win (4-1) played at home.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Haugesund in the Eliteserien.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Molde manager Moe as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Elfsborg.

Molde are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Molde as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - one - seven (Sandefjord wins - draws - Molde wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
