On Sunday evening, Sandefjord hosts Molde in the Norwegian Eliteserien as the visitors look to maintain the top spot in the table.
Sandefjord
The home side currently sits in 11th place in the Eliteserien after picking up 17 points from their first 13 league matches. A 2-1 win at Jerv last time out in the league ended a three-game winless run in the Eliteserien.
Their recent matches in the Norwegian top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last five league outings. Both teams have scored in their previous five games in the Eliteserien.
Sandefjord has a poor recent home record in the Eliteserien, failing to win any of their previous five league matches on home soil.
Despite their recent poor home run, their home games in the top-flight have at least offered entertainment, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last seven home games in the Eliteserien.
A crucial factor in those recent high-scoring games is that Sandefjord has scored at least two goals in five of their last eight league games on home soil.
Molde
The visitors are looking to go one better than finishing second place as they have done in the last two seasons by winning the Eliteserien this season.
Erling Moe’s team is currently top of the table but are only ahead of second-place Lillestrom courtesy of a superior goal difference of one.
Molde heads into this clash on the back of a ten-game unbeaten run in the Eliteserien. Their recent league matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games in the Norwegian top-flight.
Molde are unbeaten in their last eight away games in the Eliteserien, recording six wins and two draws.
