Sarpsborg vs Haugesund Predictions

Haugesund woes to continue in Sarpsborg

Sarpsborg should be backed to beat Haugesund at home in the Eliteserien on Sunday. The visitors have lost their last seven away games in the league and Sarpsborg will be confident of getting a result.

They are nine places above Haugesund in the table, with the visitors rock bottom having lost ten and drawn two of their 12 games this season. Sarpsborg are seventh on four wins, five draws and two defeats.

Sarpsborg have scored two or more goals in six of their 11 league games this season and have been prolific against struggling sides. They have averaged three goals a game in their three matches this season against teams in the bottom four.

They have lost just one of the last ten Eliteserien head-to-heads at home to Haugesund, and they will be confident of getting a result.

The visitors are in poor form on their travels, having lost eight times in Haugesund’s last ten away games. They have yet to get a result on the road this season, losing all six of their away matches.

The visitors have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just three goals in six games – an average of 0.50 goals a game. Haugesund have lost their last two Eliteserien away games to nil.

Haugesund have been disappointing defensively away from home this season, conceding 16 goals in six road games – an average of 2.67 goals per game. They have shipped goals on all six of their Eliteserien away days this season.

Sarpsborg to win 1-0 at home looks a decent correct-score choice. Three of Sarpsborg’s last four league games have stayed under 2.5 goals and they have won two of the last three meetings with Haugesund by a single goal.
