Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Competition: Sun 13.December
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Komplett Arena (6600 seats)

Sandefjord hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 33 points and a 11th position in the Eliteserien table. Visiting Odd holds 7th place with 42 pts.

Insights:
  • Sandefjord has the fewest scored goals (12) at home in Eliteserien
  • Odd haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Sandefjord's stadium, Komplett Arena, has a grass surface. Odd have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Odd when playing on grass; 2 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses from twelve matches. They have scored 13 goals in these games and conceded 19.

Sandefjord are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Odd are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Sandefjord form and stats

The story so far in the Eliteserien for Sandefjord, who have the fewest scored goals (12) at home in Eliteserien, at their home stadium (Komplett Arena) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats. With seven home Eliteserien games in a row without a win, the Sandefjord fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Molde game long ago, can be stopped today.

An away draw last time out for Sandefjord, facing Sarpsborg 08 in a game that ended 0-0. In the match before that, Sandefjord hosted Viking and drew the game 2-2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sandefjord here at Komplett Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 13 games). Sandefjord's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Odd form and stats

5 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. That’s the product of Odd playing as the away team in the Eliteserien this season. It's a growing despair in Odd as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Odd have lost on their last two travels.

Two away games in a row for Odd, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 3-4 versus Kristiansund in the Eliteserien. A 1-2 loss hosting Start before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Odd, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Imagine losing a game despite one player scoring three goals? That's the story of Mushaga Bakenga in the match against Kristiansund. Odd were so close to getting something from the game against Kristiansund, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

A new game in only three days for Odd, the Eliteserien home match versus Molde. Busy days.

Odd has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 22 goals from 13 games. Odd have conceded 26 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Odd - Sandefjord 1-2 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Sandefjord won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Odd has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
