Sandefjord v Sarpsborg 08 Betting Tips [10 July 2021]

Sandefjord are getting their footing in the Eliteserien after a rather shaky start and when they host Sarspborg they’ll be targeting a third straight win. Both sides are tied on 12 points going into this game; Sandefjord 10th and Sarpsborg 11th. Three wins and clean sheets in the last four matches place Sandefjord as favorites going to this game though they’ll also be haunted by the memory of a 4-0 thumping by Strømsgodset and a 3-1 loss to Molde. They’ve failed to score in just one of their last five matches; three of them have ended in over 2.5 goals and they’ve kept clean sheets in three. After three opening home losses in the league, they are improving well and have two straight wins there ahead of this game.

Sarpsborg have three losses, two wins, and two clean sheets going to this game. While they have scored in each of their last five matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of them. They have let in 10 goals in the last five matches, scored five and three of the five games have produced over 2.5 goals. In this game, Sarpsborg will miss the services of Anton Saletros who was sent off late in their 1-0 win over Molde. That was the team’s second red card in the last three matches, but they will welcome back Ibrahima Kone after finishing his suspension following a red card against Viking.

Sandefjord have the better run going to this game and three wins in their last four matches should give them the needed push. Thy also play at home, where they’ve done well in the last two matches. Sarpsborg have been consistent in scoring, but haven’t managed more than one in the last five matches, while their run is also not the strongest. We won’t bank a lot on them, playing away from home as well, so back Sandefjord to win here.
