Sanderfjord hosts Sarpsborg 08 in round 12 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Saturday, July 10th at Sandefjord Arena (Sandefjord)
The players of Sandefjord had a bad start to the season, but later they managed to make things better. Yes, there was a fiasco in the away match against Stromsgodset, but the Guys showed a great game in the rest of the matches. They even managed to score maximum points in the match against the champion. Moreover, Bodo/Glimt was beaten with a clean sheet. One can also praise Odegaard's charges for their reliable game in defense in the match against Viking (3-0). Thus, the Guys have not conceded goals in two home games in a row, and they are ready to extend this streak.

There was no significant transformation of Sarpsborg. This team rarely failed in defense in the previous season, and now it also works out in defense quite reliably. There were two matches in which the Blues conceded four goals, but don’t forget that they faced the clubs from the top three. In the remaining eight matches, Sarpsborg conceded only four goals. In total, this team managed to keep a clean sheet in five rounds. That is, the Blues didn’t allow their opponents to score in half of the past games, and this is a solid indicator for Eliteserien. Only a few teams conceded less.
Sarpsborg made up for the fiasco in the away match against Molde and took points from the vice-champion quite recently. And the Blues did it deservedly, as they successfully neutralized the attacks of their formidable opponent. Considering the excellent game in defense of both Sanderfjord and Sarpsborg, it is not worth waiting for an abundance of goals scored in their head-to-head match. Moreover, both teams score little. Sarpsborg scored only eight goals, and it is the worst indicator in the Norwegian Eliteserien. The Blues managed to score twice only in the game against Tromsø, but they did it only due to the numerical advantage. In the rest of the matches, they either did not score or hardly arranged one goal. Sandefjord also has a deplorable performance — the team scored more than one goal in only three out of nine matches. I doubt that with such a low performance, the Guys and the Blues will arrange a goal extravaganza, especially against the background of their reliable defensive play in recent matches. I would not be surprised if their match ends with a score of 0-0.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
