Monday night brings us action from the Norwegian top flight with just the one game being played between Stabaek and Sarpsborg as the betting tips continue at the Nadderud Stadion.
Stabaek Prediction – Can Stabaek edge relegation clash?
Although they suffered a 2-1 loss away from home home at 3rd placed Oddd last time out in the Eliteserien, Stabaek will still be reasonably confident ahead of this clash.
The hosts had previously recorded wins against Kristiansund and Stromsgodset along with picking up a point in a draw with Ranheim.
Even more impressive was that Stabaek had collected both of these recent league wins away from home as well.
In addition, Stabaek had registered 3 clean sheets in each of these previous 3 matches, while form at home has been on and off.
Stabaek possess an overall home record of 2-2-2 6/4 which includes home wins over 5th placed Rosenborg and 2nd placed Bodo/Glimt.
Although they’ve since lost to Brann and Tromso, Tuesday night’s hosts should at least be able to grab a point against a poor Sarpsborg outfit in this encounter.
Stabaek’s best chances of scoring in this clash look to fall on the shoulders of forward Boli (5 goals).
Sarpsborg Prediction – Can Sarpsborg pull out of relegation zone?
The visitors head into this important relegation ‘six-pointer’ in the bottom two of the Eliteserien and 2 points behind hosts, Stabaek.
Sarpsborg’s current plight hasn’t been helped by winning just 1 of their last 10 matches overall in the Norwegian top flight.
This lean period includes just the one win against odd in a 2-0 home win, but 5 defeats within this 10-match sequence make the visitors look vulnerable here.
Having failed to win any of their away matches so far in this season’s Eliteserien, Sarpsborg look to be up against it at Stabaek on Tuesday night.
Defeats away from home at Rosenborg, Brann and Tromso amidst a disappointing early away record of 0-3-3 4/8 doesn’t bode well for the visitors in this clash.
Along with bottom club, Stromsgodset, Sarpsborg have yet to record an away win so far this season, so all 3 points for the visitors here looks a tall order indeed.
Key-Facts – Stabaek v Sarpsborg
- Stabaek have recently recorded home wins over Rosenborg and Bodo/Glimt
- Stabaek have kept 3 clean sheets from their previous 4 matches
- Sarpsborg have won just 1 of their last 10 matches overall in the Eliteserien
Betting Tips Verdict
Stabaek look to have the slight edge over Sarpsborg in this one, but back the hosts with the handicap here.
