Draw or Stromsgodset Win
Looking at both teams’ current form, there is a 20% chance for a home win, 40% for an away win while a draw has a bigger probability than a home win at 30%.
Under 3.5 Goals
Nine of Sarpsborg’s last ten home games produced three or fewer goals. On the other side, five of Stromsgodset’s last seven fixtures also saw under 3.5 goals. In addition, the average goals scored by the home side in ten matches is 1.89 while the visitors’ stands at 1.60.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
Sarpsborg usually start well in their games as they scored first and took a 1-0 lead in six of their nine games in the league so far. In addition, playing at home, Sarpsborg went ahead three times since the beginning of the season.
With one home win so far in the Eliteserien sew season in five matches, Sarpsborg are under pressure from their fans. Moreover, coach Stefan Billborn’s team will be keen to have a better attacking display as they scored just 0.80 goals per game at home in five outings.
Nonetheless, their last result on the road was an impressive one as they came back from Jerv with a 5-0 victory. That win followed two back-to-back home defeats as Billborn’s men must keep that momentum, especially in defense as they conceded 1.20 goals at home with just one clean sheet in 11 games.
Stromsgodset meanwhile are on a five-match unbeaten run while playing on the road. In fact, the godsets lost fewer games away with one than at home where they lost twice since the beginning f the new season.
After a shaky start with three defeats in four rounds, interim coach Ingebretsen steadied the ship, and Stromsgodset are now unbeaten in six games. As a result, Stromsgodset collected 11 points from their last five matches and climbed to the fourth position.
Clearly, the main reason for Ingebetsen’s recent success is his attack which scored 15 goals in five fixtures. Not to mention their solid defense that had four clean sheets in the last seven fixtures.
Despite the fact that the bookies are favoring Sapsborg to win, the statistics are showing the opposite. To illustrate, the odd for a home win is 1.85 and for an away win is 3.97. However, Sarpsborg won just one match at home while Stromsgodset lost just once on the road.
In conclusion, we prefer to back a double chance of a draw or an away win and follow the statistics in this one.
Stromgodset’s two of their last three away games ended in draws. Since there is a 30% chance for a stalemate at the end of this match, and with odds of 3.97 at Vbet, we will choose a draw to be our quick profit option for this game.
For Sarpsborg, goalkeeper Anders Kristiansen has a finger injury and will moss out until mid-August. Also, defender Eirik Wichne is sidelined with a groin injury.
On the other side, there are no reported injuries as coach Ingebretsen might stick to his latest first 11 that beat Viking 3-2.
Sarpsborg: Nilsen, Halvorsen, Horn, Utvik, Soltvedt, Saletros, Ngouali, Maigaard, Opseth, Lindseth, Heintz.
