Draw or Sarpsborg to Win
According to the statistics, the chances of a Sarpsborg win are 50% while that of Haugesund is 29%. Moreover, five of the last eight h2h meetings ended in a draw which also was the case in Haugesund’s last two hame games.
Under 3.5 Goals
All previous 12 meetings between Haugesund and Sarpsnorg ended with under 3.5 goals. Moreover, and in recent fixtures, Haugesund’s last three league games also produced lower than 3.5 strikes.
Haugesund 0 Goal Handicap
Haugesund covered the 0 goal handicap in the last six clashes with Sarpsborg by winning twice and drawing four times. In addition, in their last seven Eliteserien fixtures, Haugesund drew four and won one game.
It was a horrible start to their Eliteserien campaign as Haugesund lost their opening five consecutive fixtures. To make things worst, the Seagulls’ scoring record was 3-11 in five games. However, coach Jostein Grindhaug steadied the ship as Haugesund went on to win their next two matches to nil.
That didn’t last long though as the Seagulls went on to win just one of their next eight league games. In the previous round, Haugesund lost away to Molde by the smallest of scores and are now just a goal difference away from the relegation zone which they seem to stick around for a long time.
Sarpsborg meanwhile have had a relatively better season with six wins and a draw which totals up to 19 points. Too many defeats, however, seve to be precise is where the damage is done for the Blue and Whites as they travel to Haugesund with a two-match losing streak.
Eager not to make it a third in a row for the second time this term, coach Stefan Billborn needs to fix some serious defensive issues after conceding eight times in three games. With 23 goals in their goal in 14 games, Haugesund have the worst defense among the top ten Eliteserien teams.
Haugesund will fight with all they have to grab points out of this one to stay away from the danger zone. The need for bodies upfront may exploit them at the back and Sarpsborg taking advantage of it is very possible. Hence, we pick a double chance of a draw or Sarpsborg win for this match.
