Sandefjord vs Kristiansund BK Betting Tips - Sandefjord to Win
Sandefjord return to home comforts on Sunday as they look to maintain a superb winning run in front of their own support.
After a 2:0 defeat at Bodo/Glimt last weekend, the home side will have plenty of backers as they look for a return to winning form.
While the hosts have struggled badly on their travels this season - picking up just three points from seven away fixtures - Andreas Tegstrom's have been brilliant in home fixtures. Sandfjord won all six Eliteserien games at Jotun Arena this season.
Thirteen games into the season, the Boys sit seventh in the division with seven wins and six defeats recorded.
The home side also boast a strong recent record in this fixture, with victories claimed in each of their last three meetings at this venue.
Kristiansund come into Sunday's fixture now winless in four matches after a goalless draw against Sarpsborg last weekend. The visitors have been held to stalemates in each of their last three Eliteserien fixtures.
A lack of consistency has been the biggest issue for Amund Skiri's side this season. Placed ninth in the division, Kristiansund won five, drew four and lost six of 15 league fixtures this year.
While unlikely to be an easy win, I fancy Sandefjord to claim the spoils on Sunday. I'm backing the hosts to claim the points at Jotun Arena.

Head coach Andreas Tegstrom could make some changes to his first XI on Sunday. Vetle Walle Egeli, Loris Mettler and Darrell Kamdem Tibell could earn recalls after all three appeared as second-half substitutes in the defeat against Bodo/Glimt.
