Insights:
  • Stabæk have the fewest scored goals (29) in Eliteserien

Sarpsborg 08 and Stabæk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

This ground has artifical turf, which is not Stabæk's usual surface at their own stadium. When playing on artifical turf Stabæk have performed like this: Played 33 matches producing 12 wins, 6 draws and 15 defeats with the goal production 53-66 (scored/conceded).

Relegation threatens Sarpsborg who should definitely be looking for some points here. Stabæk are struggling to avoid relegation.
