Haugesund are comfortably the worst team in the Eliteserien. They have picked up just two points from a possible 51 so far this season, scoring only five goals in 17 matches. Their home advantage also feels virtually non-existent, as they have scored just one goal at home across eight matches and have the worst defensive record in the league, conceding 44 goals at an average of 2.58 per game.

Sarpsborg have one of the best away records in the league, having lost just one of their last 14 away trips. Even in that defeat they still racked up 2.73xG compared to their opponents’ 1.53xG, showing they were probably unlucky not to get any points. These sides met at the start of July, with Sarpsborg winning 3-1 and also coming out on top in the xG battle. This was boosted by a penalty, but on paper they are still clearly the better side and anything less than three points will be a disappointment.

Rapid Wien won their opening game of the Austrian Bundesliga season with a routine 1-0 win over BW Linz and now travel to face the reigning champions in Sturm Graz. Sturm Graz also got their campaign off to a winning start with a 2-0 win over LASK on the opening weekend, setting up what should be an entertaining clash here.

Sturm Graz are marginal favourites to take all three points here at around evens but Rapid Wien can cause them plenty of problems as they did in the most recent head-to-head clash. Rapid Wien ran out 3-1 winners when the sides met in May as part of the Championship group that the Austrian Bundesliga splits off into at the end of the season.

Rapid Wien have managed to score in four of the last five head-to-head meetings between the sides. Four of these took place last season with Rapid Wien only failing to score in the first meeting between the sides. Rapid Wien will be looking to improve on their home record from last season, but they still managed a goal a game across these 16 fixtures.
