Peter Green - October 17, 2018
Sandefjord vs Stromsgodset
Norway – Eliteserien
Date: Saturday, 20th October 2018
Kick-off at 17.00 UK/ 18.00 CET
Venue: Komplett Arena, Sandefjord.
The dead-last placed Sandefjord hosts Stromsgodset in Eliteserien this weekend. Sandefjord has a peculiar five-match draw streak going on for them.
Stroemsgodset has been trying to get to a higher position in the league table since the mid-season. A match against Sandefjord at their home would be no walk in the park, but three points right now would do a world of good for the visitors. And they will go for the kill in this match.
The home fans will be eager to see a result for their team. They have been starting to be the butt of memes and jokes for their draw streak and will be desperate to drop the tag.
The match will likely swing in the favor of the visiting team. They have a very strong recent and historical showing against the last places Sandefjord, even at their home. Considering that the hosts are on a five-match draw streak, a DNB on the visitors is a safe bet.
Nine out of last 11 matches between the sides saw over 2.5 match goals. This game will most likely extend that record. Sandefjord has shown weakness in conceding goals in the dying minutes of the game and the home fans will be on their toes till the last minute.
