Specialist in Scandinavian & European soccer. I have been in the betting game for nearly 20 years now with a summer focus on the Norwegian & Swedish leagues. With an in-depth knowledge of the region & teams I have been involved in a specialist podcast & more for close to a decade. My favourite types of bets are attacking the goal lines and identifying the tactics & style of each team & manager who can contribute positively. Outside of betting I was once a Sunday League goalkeeper myself. But my boots are now retired and instead prefer to hit up the cricket pitch and golf course in my spare time.

Sandefjord Double Chance

Sandefjord have a 100% home record and have been absolutely brilliant here in front of their own fans. They need to be backed in some form and the best option is to take them in the draw double chance market at 1.30.

These are short odds but Sarpsborg are rarely beaten and merit respect. Truth be told, there is probably a good chance of a draw here, but Sandefjord must be given the slight edge based on their sublime home record. 

Over 2.5 Goals

Both sides rank impressively inside the top seven for xG average in the league, at 1.71 and 1.81 respectively. It is clear there is a big strength offensively and we should expect several goals in the game.

Seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings have gone over 2.5 goals, there is a history of goals in this fixture. Also, in Sandefjord home games, five out of their seven fixtures have gone over 2.5 goals.

Stefan Ingi Sigurarson to Score Anytime

The recent form and whole season form of Sandefjord striker Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson can’t be ignored. He has bagged eight goals in the Eliteserien so far, including a hat-trick last week which ended a run of four games without a goal.

This is as a player who missed three matches to suspension, so eight goals in 11 games is an excellent return. He's the hosts' biggest goal threat.

  • Sandefjord have a 100% home record in the Eliteserien with seven wins from seven matches

  • Seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings have seen 3+ goals score

  • Both sides rank inside the top seven for average xG per game

Sandefjord have been performing well above expectations this season and still have a brilliant 100% home record. They now face a tricky clash against a Sarpsborg side who are rarely beaten. Sandefjord are priced at 2.05 to continue their hot streak at home, but taking them in the double chance market is my preference.

🔵 Sandefjord Keep Maintaining 100% Home Record

This has been an incredible season for Sandefjord, who are known for being perennial relegation strugglers. But this year they are as high as 6th in the table and still have a 100% home record. Sandefjord have won all seven Eliteserien fixtures at home, with an outstanding 22:3 goal differential. Last week, they smashed Kristiansund 6-0, with Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson racking up a hat-trick.

Sandefjord have an average xG per game of 1.71 which is the 7th best in the league. Their achilles heel has been defensively, with 18 goals conceded and an average xGA of 1.64 - which ranks in the bottom five in the league. However, 15 of their 18 goals have been conceded away from home and they seem a different animal in home conditions.


Sarpsborg Are Very Difficult to Beat

Sarpsborg drew 2-2 against Rosenborg last week and have still only lost twice this season in all competitions. They are unbeaten away from home with three wins and four draws. With 14 goals conceded, only Bodo/Glimt have shipped in fewer, although their average xGA per game of 1.53 is only mid rank.

From a metrics perspective, Sarpsborg’s biggest strength is in attack with their xG of 1.81 per game the 3rd best of any side. 


📊 Sandefjord v Sarpsborg H2H

The home team has won nine of the last 10 head-to-head meetings when these sides have faced each other in the last four years. The most recent encounter was a 3-1 victory for Sarpsborg in the Norwegian Cup back in early May.

Sandefjord won this fixture 4-1 last year and 5-1 the season for that, while Sarpsborg have not won here since 2020. Seven of the last nine meetings have gone over 2.5 goals, too.
