This match has been long awaited by the 6582 spectators, as it's the first Obos-Ligaen game of the season. Both Sandefjord and KFUM are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.
This pitch has grass, which is not KFUM's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass KFUM have performed like this: six matches played resulting in 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats with the goal stats 11-13 (scored/conceded).
Sandefjord form and stats
Sandefjord have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and five practice matches played. These training games have ended with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Some might be interested in the goal production stats for these matches; Sandefjord scored 3 goals and let in 7 goals during these five games.
Disaster struck Sandefjord last season as they could not defend their status as a Eliteserien team. With 15 defeats from 30 games, and only 4 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Sandefjord are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D4 L8.
KFUM form and stats
Just as the home team, KFUM have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 7 KFUM wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.
