Match Preview
Sarpsborg 08 hosts Haugesund in a crucial Eliteserien clash on Sunday, with both teams experiencing contrasting form. Sarpsborg has struggled recently, recording four losses and a draw in their last five matches. In stark contrast, Haugesund enters the fixture with a single win in their last five, suggesting their form is also underwhelming. However, Haugesund's recent victory could provide a psychological boost as they seek to build momentum.
Historically, Sarpsborg has had the upper hand in their encounters with Haugesund, winning six of the last ten meetings and scoring in seven of those matches. The odds reflect this trend, with Sarpsborg favoured at 1.36 to win. Given the teams' current forms and the historical context, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.61 seems appealing. Both sides have shown vulnerabilities in defence, and with Sarpsborg needing to turn their fortunes around at home, expect an open contest that could yield multiple goals.
