Sandefjord vs Haugesund Prediction
Sandefjord vs Haugesund Prediction and Betting Tips for this Sunday’s Eliteserien matchup at Jotun Arena. With Sandefjord looking to stay in the race for European qualification and Haugesund in desperate need of points to escape the drop zone, this fixture promises to have huge implications. In this article, you’ll find expert Eliteserien Predictions brought to you by XpertStats tipsters.
- Sandefjord are unbeaten at home in 2025 and have a 100% win record at Jotun Arena this season.
- Haugesund have lost seven consecutive Eliteserien matches and sit bottom with just 1 point.
- Sandefjord average 2.5 goals scored per game, while Haugesund concede 2.4 per match.
- Haugesund may be missing up to four defenders due to injuries this weekend.
Andreas Tegstrom’s Sandefjord side return to action aiming to extend their perfect home record this season. With five wins from five matches at Jotun Arena, Guttane have turned their home ground into a fortress, scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game while conceding just 0.75. Although they suffered a narrow 3-2 loss away to Bryne in their last outing, their attacking form remains potent, with Over 1.5 Goals hitting in every match so far. The team currently sits seventh in the Eliteserien, just two points shy of a European qualifying spot.
Defensively, Sandefjord have room for improvement, having conceded six goals in their last three games. However, with Marcus Melchior returning from injury and the attacking trio of Kamdem Tibell, Patoulidis, and Dunsby in good form, they’ll be expected to take the initiative early. Missing key young forwards hasn’t slowed them down at home, and a sixth win could lift them as high as fourth in the table depending on other results.
Haugesund, on the other hand, are enduring a nightmare season under Toni Korkeakunnas. Winless in their first ten league matches and with just one point, they remain rooted to the bottom of the table. The visitors have lost their last four away games, conceding heavily and scoring just 0.6 goals per match on average. Their most recent result — a 4-0 defeat to Bodo/Glimt — exposed defensive frailties that continue to plague the side. Injuries to key defenders like Kukleci and Niyukuri further weaken their chances of holding firm on Sunday.
While Haugesund have shown some flashes of form in the NM Cup against lower-tier teams, they have struggled to replicate that in the top flight. A win could narrow the gap to safety, but with limited firepower and a leaky backline, the odds are stacked against them. If Sandefjord start strong, as expected, it may be another long evening for the visitors. Expect a dominant display from the hosts in this high-stakes fixture.

Sandefjord's strong home form makes them the clear favorites here, especially against a Haugesund side that's in complete disarray. Guttane have won all five of their home matches in 2025, scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game while conceding less than one per outing. In contrast, Haugesund have suffered seven straight league defeats, including four away losses in a row. They've conceded 2.4 goals per match on average and are likely to be without multiple key defenders. With the visitors also averaging just 0.6 goals scored per match, they lack the firepower to keep up with Sandefjord. The hosts, meanwhile, are chasing a top-four spot and will be highly motivated. Sandefjord -1.5 looks like solid value given the current form and statistical trends. They’ve covered this margin comfortably in most home games, and Haugesund’s leaky defense is unlikely to hold out for long.
