Sandefjord form and stats

As the visiting team in Eliteserien matches, Sandefjord have produced an overall stat of 6-0-8 so far.

Sandefjord delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Viking (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Eliteserien game. Prior to that result Sandefjord won their away game at Aalesund. The scoreline was 1-0.

Drawing 2-2 against Viking after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager M. Cifuentes Corvillo needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sandefjord are hosting Odd in the Eliteserien only four days away.
