Match Preview
Sarpsborg 08 welcomes Rosenborg to Sarpsborg Stadion on July 18 for a crucial Eliteserien clash. The home side is struggling, having recorded just one draw in their last five matches, which has left them languishing near the bottom of the table. In stark contrast, Rosenborg arrives with a solid form, boasting three wins from their last five outings, including a recent victory against a strong opponent. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the match, as Sarpsborg will be desperate to turn their fortunes around.
Historically, matches between these two sides tend to be high-scoring, with seven of the last ten encounters featuring over 2.5 goals and eight seeing both teams find the net. Given Sarpsborg's current defensive vulnerabilities and Rosenborg's attacking prowess, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.53 could be a prudent choice. The stakes are high for Sarpsborg, but Rosenborg's momentum might prove too much for them to handle.
