Sandefjord take on the visitors Rosenborg at “Komplett Arena” in the round 15 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played in Sandefjord on Sunday, July 1st.
At the start of the season Sandefjord had been able to pick up points, but then the side started to lose game by game. And the main reason of the team’s failures is its defense’s mistakes. “Guttane” have already conceded 30 goals in 14 encounters conducted with only half of the season behind. Moreover, the upcoming hosts have not managed to earn a single clean sheet so far while in last seven tackles Sandefjord conceded at least two goals. Although the side is trying to lead the game, still, its efforts are in vain as “Guttane” face great difficulties like with creating goal opportunities, like with their converting into goals. Sandefjord have not managed to score a single goal across eight official tackles in a row till the recent fight against Bodo/Glimt. The team also has been failing to score goals for 360 minutes of football played at its own pitch.

Meanwhile, Rosenborg are the defending champion of the Eliteserien. “Troillongan” showed effective football in the previous fight against Valerenga, having earned a confident 3:0 victory in face of their supporters which allowed the club to cut its unlucky run. Although the side’s effectiveness in attack has been decreased this season, still, it scored 23 goals in 14 battles conducted. It should be noted that Rosenborg’s defense fails very rarely, having conceded just 10 goals so far. Moreover, the reigning champion concedes mainly from the strong opponents while the clubs from the lower half of the table managed to score only three goals in seven encounters conducted.
Rosenborg are rightfully considered to be the favourites of the upcoming clash as Sandefjord demonstrate awful performance in defense while their offense scored just two goals in 10 tackles played. At the same time, after quite complicated games against Tromso and Brann, “Troillongan” produced astonishing football in the latest fight, having thrashed tough Valerenga. Finally, the upcoming visitors gained six out of six possible points against “Guttane” in the previous season, having scored eight goals in their head-to-heads. Hence, the defending champion is capable to get a confident triumph in the upcoming battle as well.
Prediction for the match: Rosenborg to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
