Sarpsborg 08 vs Stabaek Match Preview

Sarpsborg 08 is ranked at the 9th place with 24 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It seems they have recovered pretty well from the two consecutive losses where they conceded seven goals while scoring just once. Now, in the recent three games, they scored at least a goal on two occasions.

Considering they are at home here, I expect them to try and keep going with the positive results. Here they lost just one of the last five matches and managed to find the back of the net eight times in the past five games.

Stabaek, on the other hand, is ranked at the 8th place with 25 points and comes in the exact same form after two wins a draw, and two losses over the last five matches. They are quite far from the Europa League zone, so if they want to hope for it they must win here.

In the last five games, they have scored six goals averaging at least a goal per game, and scored 25 goals in 19 games so far. Even on the road, they found the back of the net in three of the last five outings totaling six goals again.

In conclusion, I expect both teams to score at least a goal here. Sarpsborg 08 has a good h2h record against these rivals as they haven't lost any of the past five games and scored at least a goal in four duels. Stabaek will try to build up to that recent win they got. The previous h2h game this season ended in a 1-1 draw.
