Sandefjord welcome Rosenborg to Jotun Arena for a Norwegian Eliteserien fixture with both teams desperate for an upturn in form.

Both teams have found things difficult lately as they struggle to find their best form. However, the hosts have done some good work in front of their fans and should hold out against the visitors, who are also unconvincing in their travels.

Sandefjord Form


Sandefjord come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 defeat at Brann last time out in the league. They held their own for long periods and looked to be on their way to a share of the spoils before conceding the winner one minute from time.

That result is part of an erratic run for Sandefjord, who have claimed three wins and suffered four defeats from their last seven matches. However, the good news is that they have a 100% record at home, winning all five of their league matches at Jotun Arena. 

Sandefjord often show their attacking quality in front of their fans and have scored first in all five home matches in the league. However, Andreas Tegstrom's team have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven fixtures across all competitions.

Rosenborg Form

 
Rosenborg made a bright start to the season and were unbeaten in their opening eight matches in the league. However, they have lost their way in recent weeks and are winless in their last four matches across all competitions, playing out a 1-1 home draw with Viking in their previous fixture.
 
Despite their recent struggles, Rosenborg remain third in the table, although they are 10 points behind leaders Viking. Alfred Johansson’s team have also lost two of their last three away matches, suffering a 4-1 defeat at Kristiansund in their previous fixture on the road.

That defeat to Kristiansund highlights a defensive problem for Rosenborg, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they often try to find a balance at the other end of the pitch and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches.

Head to Head


Rosenborg have 21 wins and four draws while Sandefjord have picked up just two wins from 27 previous matches. The visitors claimed a 1-0 away victory in the last meeting back in September.

Verdict

Rosenborg may have a great record in this fixture but come into this clash struggling to find their best form. Sandefjord have won all five of their home matches in the league this season and should do enough to earn a win or draw.
 
There is quality in the attacks and with neither defence looking tight at the moment, both teams are expected to score here. Sandefjord have also opened the scoring in all five of their home matches this season and could be set to maintain that trend.
