Editor's Pick
In this matchup, Sandefjord usually manage one goal at most: they scored no more than that in 9 of their last 10 away head-to-head meetings. Away from home in the league it's the same story - the visitors have been limited to one goal in six matches in a row. The home side are the more likely ones to open the scoring here: Sarpsborg have scored before half-time in 7 of their 8 home Eliteserien matches. We're not expecting a second goal from the visitors. The bet is Sandefjord individual total under 1.5. Score prediction - 2:1.
