Odd takes on the visitors Sandefjord in the round 8 match of Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 25th at Skagerak Arena (Skien).
Odd suffering a decline in the last couple of years. "Oddrane" hasn't been distinguished by anything intelligible for a long time, and few people remember that they were the champions of Norway - it was back in the middle of the last century. And the last title of the cup dates back to 2000. But still, in the middle of the last decade, 2 bronze medals were taken, and only in recent years there has been a tendency towards a protracted decline. In 2019, the club was 4th in the Eliteserien, then it moved down to 7th, and then to 13th place. The new championship also starts quite hard: yes, they managed to win several times, but there are many more defeats. All the more important was the 1-0 away victory over Jerv in the last round.

Sandefjord are of the youngest projects in the country. "Guys" was founded less than a quarter of a century ago, in 1998. But it has already managed to get to the final of the national cup. Then, in 2006, the team made its way to the elite division of the country for the first time. True, a relegation immediately followed, and this seemed to set a trend for the performances of the team in the future. Quite regularly it turned out to rise to the "elite", but not for long. However, gradually they managed to stay in the Eliteserien longer and longer. This season is already the 3rd in a row at this level, and this is already a record. However, all the time they had to fight for survival: 11th place in 2020, 10th in the last draw. Now it’s also not easy - the start, in fact, is the same as that of Odd: several meetings won with an abundance of losses, including loss to Lillestrom at home 1-4 at home.
Sandefjord hasn't lost in the last 6 official matches. In 2021, in the championship, they took 4 points out of 6 possible with Odd. Judging by the odds, Odd will be the favorite. But, in any case, his game with Sandefjord is unlikely to be spectacular - a bet on "under 3.0 goals" looks like a passing option.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
