This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eliteserien, Sarpsborg 08 holding 12th place and Haugesund lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sarpsborg and Haugesund.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Haugesund's home stadium. The visitors last 27 games on artifical turf have ended in 11 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses.

When playing at home in the Eliteserien, Sarpsborg 08 have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games. Sarpsborg has recorded two wins in a row here at Sarpsborg Stadion, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Sarpsborg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Viking. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Odd in a game that was won 2-0.
David Mitov Nilsson had a busy but productive day in the Viking match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Sarpsborg as they have a new game in only four days, a Eliteserien match thankfully also at home. Aalesund are visiting.

Haugesund form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Eliteserien travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Haugesund go into this game after a win, the home game against Rosenborg that ended 1-0. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Viking.
After this away game Haugesund return home for a Eliteserien game against Stabæk. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Haugesund are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Haugesund's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
