Sarpsborg 08 have rested up following their 4-3-game against Jerv and are ready to meet Sandefjord. Here's all the facts and figures!
- Sandefjord is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Sarpsborg 08 have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sarpsborg 08 have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-1-9 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
