Sandefjord Backed to Overcome Away-Struggling KFUM Oslo

Sandefjord will look to capitalize on home advantage against a KFUM Oslo side still without an away win this season. The hosts have also won the last two meetings and hold a strong recent head-to-head record.

Sandefjord host KFUM Oslo in the Norwegian Eliteserien in the early hours of Saturday. KFUM are still searching for their first away win of the season and have lost their last two meetings with Sandefjord, leaving the hosts well placed to take all three points.

Although Sandefjord have recorded only two draws and five defeats in their last seven league matches, that run has included games against leading sides such as table-toppers Bodo/Glimt and second-placed Viking. Sandefjord won back-to-back home league games in early May and have lost only to Bodo/Glimt across their last three home fixtures, underlining their strength on their own ground. E. Patoulidis is one to watch after scoring recently against Viking.

KFUM Oslo ended their poor run by beating Kristiansund at home in the previous round, but they have struggled badly on the road this season and remain the only team in the Eliteserien without an away victory.

Sandefjord also hold a clear psychological edge in this fixture, with four wins, one draw and one defeat from the last six meetings. They have won the two most recent encounters and previously beat KFUM Oslo 2-1 and 2-0 in home league matches. With home advantage, Sandefjord have a strong opportunity to bounce back and collect three points.
