KFUM v Sandefjord betting guide: Not much separates the two teams

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Sandefjord have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 6-9-14 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.

KFUM are steadily winning Obos-Ligaen games and points here at KFUM Arena. 9 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 11 games. Ever since the Aalesund game KFUM has been unbeatable here at KFUM Arena producing four straight wins.

KFUM lost their last game at Aalesund (placed 1st) after a 1-2 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Skeid in a game that was won 2-1.
