It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the NM Cup. That game was also an away game, at Strømsgodset. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Sandefjord form and stats

4-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Sandefjord so far this season.

Sandefjord travelled for their previous game, a trip to Mjøndalen that ended 1-1. Marc Vales was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.13 out of 10. The defender Vales scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 5 duels.

Before that, Sandefjord had a home game versus Vålerenga which ended with a victory 3-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sandefjord have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost zero.

The Sandefjord fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Sandefjord have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Stabæk form and stats

There's been little loot from Stabæk's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Eliteserien. Stabæk only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Stabæk seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Stabæk as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the NM Cup match against Strømsgodset (1-5). Stabæk lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The game before that, in the Eliteserien, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Viking.

Stabæk are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, five draws and three defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Stabæk are hosting Strømsgodset in the Eliteserien only three days away.

Stabæk have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Stabæk concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

Sandefjord and Stabæk have played each other earlier this season: Stabæk - Sandefjord 0-2. Stats for the last ten meetings involving these two contenders are: two wins for Sandefjord, three draws and five wins for Stabæk. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
