Football – Norway – Tippeligaen Betting Tips
Sarpsborg know they can jump up into fourth place in the Norwegian Tippeligaen on Friday night if they take all three points against rock-bottom Start when the two teams clash at the Sarpsborg Stadion.
Sarpsborg currently occupy sixth place thanks to a pretty strong start to the season, and they’ve won four of their last five matches overall in the Norwegian top flight courtesy of wins over Tromso, Brann, Lillestrom and Molde.
The hosts have also lost just the once so far this season on home soil as their record of 4-3-1 10/2 indicates as they’re unbeaten in their last seven matches following an unexpected first day defeat to Haugesund. In addition, Sarpsborg have kept six clean sheets to date from their eight matches played at home.
Visitors Start sit bottom of the pile in the Tippeligaen after having failed to win a single match so far this season, and they already find themselves 8 points adrift of Valerenga and the safety position of 13th place.
Indeed, Start haven’t won a game in the Norwegian top flight for a staggering period of 32 matches and it defies logic as to how they’ve managed to stay in the top division for as long as they have! This season has also been poor, and their away record currently stands at 0-4-4 6/13 although they have managed points at Tromso, Aalesund, Sogndal and Molde.
But the damning statistic is that they’ve managed just one clean sheet from their last 17 matches on their travels, and the hosts Sarpsborg will be looking to take advantage of this tonight.
