Sandefjord vs Kristiansund BK Predictions

Sandefjord can lean on home form

Sandefjord have won their last six home games in the Eliteserien and they are favourites to get another win when Kristiansund visit Komplett.no Arena on Sunday.

They are two places above Kristiansund in the table, but the two sides are separated by just two points. Sandefjord, in seventh, have seven wins and six defeats from their 13 games, while Kristiansund are ninth with five wins and six losses.

The hosts are in fine fettle. Sandefjord have sustained just one defeat in their last six home games against Kristiansund in the Eliteserien and have gone six games since their last defeat at Komplett.no Arena. They have won eight of their last nine on home soil.

Sandefjord have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just three goals in six Eliteserien games – an average of 0.50 goals per game. They have kept clean sheets in four of their last six matches at the Komplett.no Arena.

Sandefjord have also been impressive in front of goal at home this season, scoring 16 goals in six games – an average of 2.67 goals per game. They have also scored an average of 2.43 goals a game in their seven matches against bottom-half teams.

Kristiansund are without a win in three Eliteserien games and have not tasted victory in five of their last six matches.

They won the last Eliteserien head-to-head between the teams 2-1, but at least one of the sides did not score in four of the previous six meetings, and Sandefjord to win 1-0 looks a decent correct-score choice.
