- Venue: Komplett Arena
Two Norwegian top-flight sides, separated by only two points, face each other on Saturday afternoon when Sandefjord play host to Sarpsborg 08.
The hosts put in their best performance of the 2025 campaign so far last weekend when they thrashed Kristiansund 6:0 at this ground. Andreas Tegström’s side boast a record of four wins in their last seven games, though it is notable that all of these victories were achieved on home turf. The Boys also kept three clean sheets at the Komplett Arena during this period - something that will certainly boost the confidence of Sandefjord fans ahead of this weekend's game.
Meanwhile, Sarpsborg 08 only managed to pick up one point in their own Match Day 14 encounter last weekend. The visitors have now drawn four of their last six league games, but remain unbeaten in eight across all competitions. Having avoided defeat in all eleven of their away games this season, they will be feeling optimistic about their chances against Sandefjord this weekend.
Sandefjord vs Sarpsborg 08 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
When it comes to scoring goals, Sandefjord just can’t stop, especially at home. The Boys have averaged 2.8 goals per game at the Komplett Arena this season, with only two of their seven home games seeing fewer than three goals.
Sarpsborg have also been prolific in attack this season, averaging around two goals per away game. Nine of their twelve away games across all competitions have produced at least three goals, so I expect Saturday’s game to end in a similar way.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Sandefjord vs Sarpsborg 08 prediction: 3-2

Sandefjord team news
As no injuries were sustained in the 5-star performance against Kristiansund last weekend, head coach Andreas Tegström is expected to stick with the same starting XI.
Stefán Ingi Sigurðarson scored a hat-trick in that match, taking his goals tally for the season to eight, and he will lead the line. Meanwhile, Robin Dzabic will be pushing for a start after coming off the bench to score the sixth goal.
