Sarpsborg vs Sandefjord Predictions

• Sarpsborg have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last five games, with both teams scoring in four of those.
• Sandefjord have seen over 2.5 goals scored in all but one of their 10 Eliteserien outings this term.
• The visitors have also seen goals at both ends in four of their last six matches.

High-scoring affair looks likely

Just three points separate seventh-placed Sarpsborg from Sandefjord in 11^th as the Norwegian Eliteserien table begins to take shape, and there is every reason to expect this meeting between two teams who have seen the goals flow recently – at both ends – will entertain.

With 24 goals scored, Sarpsborg are, despite their mid-table position, the joint-highest scoring side in Norway’s top flight. Stefan Billborn’s men have scored five goals in three separate games already this term, including a recent thrashing of Stromsgodset, and have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last five games. Sarpsborg have also, however, kept just one clean sheet in that run, meaning they could struggle against decent travellers Sandefjord.

Indeed, the visitors’ tally of 12 points from six away games means only Molde have fared better on the road, and pales in comparison to the one point they’ve earned at home. With Sandefjord faring well on the road, punters may swap backing the hosts for backing goals – over 2.5 goals have been scored in all but one of Sandefjord’s 10 league games, and both teams have scored in four of their last six.

Expect a thriller at Sarpsborg Stadion

While Sarpsborg approach this contest as favourites, Sandefjord’s superb away form makes backing the hosts a tricky sell, so punters are advised to back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score in what should – if recent form is any measure – be a thriller.

Meanwhile, a 2-2 draw could represent a decent correct score prediction, with Sarpsborg only winning one of their last three home games.
