A quick glance at the Obos-Ligaen table hint of an upper hand to Sogndal when they arrive at Sandnes Ulf. Even so; let's play before points are handed out!
- Sandnes Ulf have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Sogndal have the fewest matches over the total-line (6) in Obos-Ligaen
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Sogndal are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Sandnes Ulf form and stats
6-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Obos-Ligaen numbers at home for Sandnes Ulf so far this season. After failing to beat Grorud here at Øster Hus Arena, Sandnes Ulf has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
An away draw last time out for Sandnes, facing Aalesund in a game that ended 2-2.
Before that, Sandnes had a home game versus Åsane which ended with a victory 3-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sandnes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Sandnes as they have a new game in only three days, a Obos-Ligaen match thankfully also at home. Fredrikstad are visiting.
