Fredrikstad vs Sarpsborg Predictions

Visitors can spring a surprise

Sarpsborg might be the value to overcome the difference in league positions when they travel to Fredrikstad on Sunday. The hosts are fourth and Sarpsborg ninth, but the away side are worth backing to get the win.

Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Fredrikstad winning five and Sarpsborg three of their eight games.

Fredrikstad’s recent form has dipped, with the hosts losing their last two Eliteserien games. They went down 2-0 to Rosenborg on Wednesday, having gone into the game in good shape, having won four of their previous six matches.

Sarpsborg are unbeaten in their four away games this season and have only lost one of their last nine on the road. They are in good form away from home, having gone seven trips without defeat.

Sarpsborg have been impressive defensively away from home this season, conceding just three goals in four games – an average of 0.75 goals per game.

They can get on the scoresheet here, having scored at least twice in four of their last six Eliteserien games.

A 2-0 away win for Sarpsborg looks a decent correct-score bet. There have been fewer than three goals in six of Fredrikstad’s last eight Eliteserien games.
