Sandefjord vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction
Sandefjord vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday, July 27 in the Norwegian Eliteserien. It’s a meeting between the league’s strongest home side and one of the most resilient on the road. Dive into our Eliteserien Predictions for full match insights from our XpertStats team.
- Sandefjord have the best home record in the Eliteserien with 7 wins from 7
- Sarpsborg 08 are unbeaten away, with 13 points from 7 road games
- Sandefjord crushed Kristiansund 6-0 in their last outing
- Daniel Karlsbakk has scored 14 goals in 16 games for Sarpsborg
Let’s talk about Sandefjord for a second. They just smacked Kristiansund 6-0. Yeah, you read that right six goals. Andreas Tegstrom’s side sit sixth on the table and they’re flying high, especially at home. They’ve taken 21 points from 7 home games, scoring 22 and conceding just 3. That’s not just good, that’s fortress-level dominance. Goals? They’ve bagged 28 in 14 games, averaging 3.14 scored per match. There’s real bite up front. Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson is leading the line with 8 goals in 12. With that kind of form, it’s hard to see them slowing down especially not in front of their own fans.
But don’t write off Sarpsborg 08. Christian Michelsen’s men are unbeaten in their 7 away games. Thirteen points picked up on the road is no joke. They’re seventh, just two points off Sandefjord, and have a striker in red-hot form: Daniel Karlsbakk, who’s racked up 14 goals in 16 matches. They’re gritty too: 5 wins, 7 draws, only 2 losses all season. Four of their last five games have seen both teams score, and they’ve netted in all of them. It’s not always pretty, but they know how to get something out of tight games.
Still, Sarpsborg’s defense might have its hands full here. Their average goals conceded sits at 0.71 per game, but this Sandefjord attack isn’t your average frontline. The hosts have scored in every home match this season. Every. Single. One. And with Sarpsborg missing Aimar Sher and Andres Hiim through injury, depth could become a real issue. Sandefjord are also a solid unit at the back, with just 0.43 goals conceded per match on average and 3 clean sheets in their last 5.
All in all, this one has the feel of a high-stakes standoff. Sarpsborg may be road warriors, but Sandefjord have built a fortress and right now, no one’s broken through it. Can Sarpsborg find a way? Maybe. But based on the numbers, form, and the sheer confidence Sandefjord are playing with at home, the edge goes to the hosts.

Sandefjord have turned their home ground into a fortress this season. With seven wins from seven at home, 22 goals scored and just 3 conceded, it's no exaggeration to say they’ve been nearly untouchable on their own turf. Off the back of a ruthless 6-0 win over Kristiansund, morale is sky-high. They’ve averaged 3.14 goals per game and conceded just 0.43 those numbers speak volumes. On the other hand, Sarpsborg are strong away but not unbeatable. They’ve drawn several times on the road and are missing key players like Sher and Hiim. Sandefjord’s attack, led by Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson, will likely be too much. While Sarpsborg have Karlsbakk in form, Sandefjord’s defensive unit, led by Christopher Cheng, has been equally impressive. Sarpsborg might hold out for a while, but Sandefjord's consistency and clinical edge at home tip the scales in their favor.
