In their last match, Sandefjord beat Flint in the Norwegian Cup. They had 68% possession and registered 11 shots on target to their opponents' three, though they scored just once - winning 1-0.
Sandefjord sit 11th with 23 points, two points clear of the relegation play-off place in 14th. Andreas Tegström's side have shown resilience - they have lost by more than one goal only once in their last 12 Eliteserien matches. They have conceded 27 goals, three fewer than Rosenborg. Their weakness is away from home, where they have lost six of their last seven league matches. Last round they kept a clean sheet against Start, though that was at home. There are significant injury concerns: Marcus Melchior and Devon Koswal are both out long-term with knee injuries.

Prediction for the 1st half
Sandefjord have lost the first half in 6 of their last 7 away matches. Rosenborg, meanwhile, have been scoring regularly before the break - finding the net in 10 of their last 11 matches. Given these factors, a bet on Rosenborg to win the first half looks reasonable.
Match Result Prediction
Rosenborg have been convincing at home this season, winning seven matches on their own ground, five of them consecutively. Across their last 10 home matches they have been consistently productive in attack, averaging 2.45 goals scored. Sandefjord, meanwhile, have lost 7 of their 10 away matches this season and concede an average of 1.7 goals on the road. Against that backdrop, a bet on a Rosenborg win looks the natural call.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the top three most likely correct scores are: 2-1 (9.82%), 1-1 (7%), and 3-1 (6.79%). The 2-1 scoreline has the highest probability, though the difference between all three options is marginal.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Rosenborg are in strong attacking form right now, but their record against Sandefjord tells a different story. The hosts have failed to score more than two goals against this opponent in seven consecutive Eliteserien matches. There are not many high-scoring games between these two sides in general. In 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings in Trondheim, fewer than four goals were scored. Sandefjord are also accustomed to low-scoring affairs - in 8 of their last 9 league matches, the combined total has been no more than three goals. We expect a home win, but not a comfortable one. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
