- Sandefjord boast a perfect home record with six wins and four clean sheets at the Jotun Arena
- Kristiansund are unbeaten in their last four games but have scored just one goal in their last three

Sandefjord have emerged as one of the most formidable home teams in the league, winning all six of their matches at Jotun Arena this season. With 16 goals scored and just two conceded at home, Andreas Tegstrom’s men have turned their stadium into a fortress. Despite suffering a 2-0 defeat away at Bodo/Glimt last weekend, Sandefjord remain seventh with two games in hand on teams above them. Their form has been inconsistent away from home, but their return to Jotun Arena should spark another dominant display.
Defensively, Sandefjord have been impressive, averaging only 0.5 goals conceded per match. While their attack averages 2.67 goals per game, they also boast an impressive 100% record in matches with over 1.5 goals. However, only 33% of their games see both teams score, showing a trend of clean wins at home. Tegstrom may resist changes to his starting XI after a poor second half against Bodo/Glimt, where a trio of substitutions disrupted the team’s rhythm.
Kristiansund, on the other hand, are beginning to stabilize defensively. Their recent run of four unbeaten matches includes three low-scoring draws, reflecting a more cautious approach. Coach Amund Skiri’s side has tightened up at the back but struggles to find consistency in front of goal. They have only one win in their last six games and have failed to score in their last two matches, drawing 0-0 against Sarpsborg most recently.
Despite their defensive improvements, Kristiansund still concede an average of 1.63 goals per game. Offensively, they average 1.38 goals scored, with 75% of their games featuring both teams scoring. However, the absence of Marius Olsen due to suspension could disrupt the backline, and attacking options remain underwhelming. Historically, the home side has dominated this fixture, winning the last six meetings, which adds further weight to the case for a Sandefjord victory. Based on current form and home advantage, Eliteserien Predictions point strongly toward another Sandefjord win.
Sandefjord’s home record is impossible to ignore. With six wins from six at Jotun Arena, including 16 goals scored and just two conceded, they have transformed their stadium into one of the most difficult grounds to visit in the Eliteserien. This consistent home form is backed by solid statistics, Sandefjord average 2.67 goals scored and only 0.5 conceded per match. Meanwhile, Kristiansund have been inconsistent on the road and arrive without key defender Marius Olsen due to suspension. While Kristiansund are unbeaten in four, three of those matches ended in goalless draws, exposing their attacking struggles. Sandefjord, who lost to Bodo/Glimt last weekend, will be eager to bounce back, and given their offensive efficiency at home, they’re expected to control the match tempo. With the added confidence from their unbeaten run at home, and Kristiansund's lack of threat in front of goal, a home win looks the most likely outcome.
