Match Preview

Sarpsborg are one of the most surprising teams in Eliteserien under the guidance of the coach Geir Bakke. They are third in the table, a single point behind leaders Rosenborg, and play very confident football. That makes them favourites against modest opposition like Haugesund, we can state in our Haugesund vs Sarpsborg preview.

Haugesund used to be a force to be reckoned with in Eliteserien, but their recent fortunes are less convincing. Haugesund lost their last three matches, and their defence doesn't seem to be up to standards. That is also a significant aspect to take into account when making our Haugesund vs Sarpsborg predictions. In fact, Haugesund failed to score in their last three home matches, and in four out of their last six fixtures overall.

Haugesund's Recent results:

• Haugesund 0-0 Sogndal
• Sandefjord 2-0 Haugesund
• Haugesund 0-2 Odd

Sarpsborg's Recent results:
