This promises to be another engaging battle at Komplett Arena in the Eliteserien. Sandefjord is in 7th place and host Vålerenga in 10th spot. Read all about the game here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vålerenga 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 5-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
There have been little to rest for the hosts, as they performed in a NM Cup fixture only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Halsen.
Sandefjord form and stats

Vålerenga form and stats
It's not happening yet for Vålerenga on their Eliteserien travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Vålerenga has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

A 1-5 defeat away at Bodø / Glimt before that.The schedule is very tough for Vålerenga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eliteserien game at Tromsø is waiting in only four days.
1 goal so far away for Vålerenga, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 2 league matches away.
